 ABSTRACT

Excessive withdrawal of groundwater leads to a diminution of the water stored underground. A groundwater flow modeling helps to understand groundwater systems, and explore or predict changes and build a better understanding of the relationship between natural resources and human activities. The groundwater flow model was developed for Kalipat village in Rajkot district using MODFLOW. Evaluation of Groundwater level and direction is done with the help of base map and well inventory. MODFLOW shows that the head varies from 132m on southern side to 141m on northern side. The direction of groundwater flow is north east to south-west in study area.

Keywords: MODFLOW, Groundwater flow, Flow Direction, Water balance
