Introduction0 GW Stress ?
0 Low dependency on traditional method.
0 Lower water table Current GW level
0 Underground water pump
0 Power of pump, inversely related to gwl
0 Subsidized electricity to farmers
0 Dilemma

Dilemma0 High Yield ~ Larger land with proper irrigation
0 Irrigation ~ Electric Pump set ~ Electricity(Energy)
0 GW high use of Pump reducing GW Level.
0 Reduced GW require high power pump ~ More

0 GW is being used unwisely.
0 Trend of GW use and energy consumption is found in
various states.0 As : Agricultural consumption = X Kwh*
Number of Consumer = N
Thus : Energy use/Tubewell = X/N
* Total Power transmitted through feeder, consisting ofreal + AT&C losses

Entitlement calculation0 Area of water under surface is variable.
0 MAP
0 GW area = Yha
0 Energy for agriculture = XKWh
0 Energy per ha = X/YKWh/ha
0 This will give us the estimate of energy that will be
required for a particular area, having certain level ofGW.

0 Area = 1,91,791 Sq.km
0 Rainfall = 1779 mm

Total Districts / Talukas = 27 districts / 175 Talukas0 Net GW available = 15.30 BCM
0 Annual replenishment = 15.93 BCM
0 Annual Draft = 10.71 BCM
0 Net GW area = 15,30,000 ha
0 Agricultural electricity consumption= 4299.53 MU0 Energy use per Tubewell = 6614.163 Kwh
0 Thus 4299.53 MU/15,30,000 ha = 2810.15 Kwh/ha

1 BCM = 1,00,00,00,000 m3
1 ha = 10,000 m2
1 ha.m = 10,000 m3
