The introduction of canal irrigation system in the Allahabad area disturbed the natural hydrological system, causing the watertable to rise thus creating waterlogging problems. To combat this, public tubewells were installed. The tubewells installed in the more saline aquifer increased salts in the soil which rendered the land unusable for cultivation, and research was needed to predict the salinity hazard in Unit I, SCARP-VI area. USGS Model MOC is used to simulate the groundwater flow and salt movement due to pumping of SCARP tubewells in Unit-I, SCARP-VI area. In this study, recharge/discharge stresses are estimated from the data obtained from different agencies. The flow is calibrated for a period of seven years, starting in 1980. Calibrated values of transmissivity (1.0 ft2/sec) and storage co- efficient (0.15) are assumed to be constant over the study area. Predictive computer runs are made to study the extent of movement of saline water. The rate of saline water movement northwest of Allahabad is found to be 130 ft/ year averaged over 24 years (i.e. 1987 A.D. to 2010 A.D.), provided that the pumping strategy for the year 1986-87 continues and other hydrologic conditions remain the same.

A large network of canals was established during the last decades for delivering irrigation water in the SCARP-VI Project area. The canal network and irrigated areas became a source of recharge, causing a continuous rise in the watertable. To lower the watertable in the area, 632 tubewells were installed during 1976-80. Since the project began, these wells have been continuously monitored. From this, maps and reports regarding water quality and water level have been prepared. According to the water quality report (SMO,1990) some wells were converted from fresh to saline. To find out the extent of tubewell water quality deterioration, 44 piezometers were installed on seven pumping wells to collect and analyze water quality and piezometric head data. This analysis shows a seasonal variation in water quality. This paper explores possible reasons for this seasonal variation in water quality. For this purpose, different numerical models such as MOC, MODFLOW and RADFLOW were used to study the overall regional flow behavior in the area. The results indicate the water quality variation of the wells may be due to the movement of saline interface in the immediate vicinity of the wells, depending on the recharge and pumping pattern.

This study observed the behavior of water quality in the area. It observed that some of the originally installed tubewells, in fresh water zone, started pumping bad quality water. The data collected by SMO over 16 years were analyzed using the database prepared under ISM/Research project. Tubewells showing a fluctuation in water quality may extract water from different water zones in the aquifer. Using a database helps analyze large data sets.

We have determined the water quality index (WQI) of post-monsoon water samples with an aim to assess changes in Ganges river at various locations in Allahabad stretch including that from the confluence with river Yamuna. Physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS), major cations e.g. Na+ , K+ , Mg2+, Ca2+, major anions e.g. F, Cl, Br, SO4 2, NO3 , PO4 2 and alkalinity were analyzed by standard procedures. The values obtained were compared with the guideline values for drinking water by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) and World Health Organization (WHO). From the measured quantities, certain parameters were selected to derive WQI for the variations in water quality of each designated sampling site. Results showed considerable deterioration in quality of water at some of the sites. WQI of Ganges river water at Allahabad ranged from 86.20 to 157.69 which falls in the range of poor quality of water. Pearson’s correlation matrix was drawn to find possible interrelations among measured water quality parameters. It is shown that WQI may be a useful tool for assessing water quality and predicting trend of variation in water quality at different locations in the Ganges river.
