The International Water Management Institute, located in ICRISAT, Hyderabad, is looking for data which could help in a new watershed development (WSD) project which is begining.
This project called "Integrated Assessment of Meso-Level Watershed Development" will integrate environmental, economic, social, equity and dimensions at meso levels to help ensure that WSD contributes positively to the Indian government’s sustainable livelihoods goal and provide the foundations for a resilient and sustainable WSD.
We are actually doing the selection of the study sites in Andhra Pradesh. One of the two sites would be located in Anantapur district (and a small part in Kurnool district), in Gooty mandal and Peddavadugur mandal.
One of the goals of this project is to develop an integrated groundwater/surface water model, that is the reason why we are actually searching for groundwater data (wells details, lithologs, water level, artificial recharge structures, discharge during pumping test or irrigation pumping,groundwater quality, etc.) and surface water data (details about wetlands and rivers, irrigated area, surface water bodies, tank details, rainfall, surface water quality, etc.).
Hope you could help us in this research.
