Dugwells are the most prevalent groundwater based minor irrigation structures in the basaltic terrains of India. The drawdown and recovery test data of some such dugwells located in the Koyna River basin, Maharashtra State were analysed. The Transmissivity (T) and Coefficient of Storage (S) values estimated through Papadopulos and Cooper (1967), Boulton and Streltsova (l976), Mishra and Chachadi (1985) and Singh and Gupta (1986) methods are compared and discussed in this paper.

Abstract


Dugwells are the most prevalent groundwater based minor irrigation structures in the basaltic terrains of India. The drawdown and recovery test data of some such dugwells located in the Koyna River basin, Maharashtra State were analysed. The Transmissivity (T) and Coefficient of Storage (S) values estimated through Papadopulos and Cooper (1967), Boulton and Streltsova (l976), Mishra and Chachadi (1985) and Singh and Gupta (1986) methods are compared and discussed in this paper.
