The study area is dependent on ground water for irrigation during the dry months of the year as sufficient surface water resources are not available. Occurrence of saline ground water in some parts of the area, particularly at Kashopara and Kasab unions. restricts the use of ground water for irrigation purposes. Ground water electrolytic conductivity (EC) monitoring and resistivity sounding show a distinct vertical ground water zoning with varying salinity, viz .. an upper zone (0-30 m) of relatively fresh Na/CaHCO3-type ground water with EC values <1000 μS/cm and a lower zone (below 30 m) of NaCI-type (brackish) ground water with EC values >2000 μS/cm. It is suggested that salinity prohlems in the affected area can be managed through minimum abstraction of saline ground water, proper selection of crops, land development and by changing methods of irrigation.Keywords

The study area, located in the middle part of Chandpur district, Bangladesh, belongs to Meghna floodplain region. The shallow aquifer in the area is highly contaminated. Eight vertical electrical soundings using Schlumberger configuration with spreading of 800 m (AB/2 = 400 m) were conducted. The geophysical model exhibits three distinct ranges of resistivity zones: low (4.0 to 11.90 Ωm), moderate (13.0 to 58.0 Ωm) and variable (10.3 to 75.0 Ωm). Geological interpretation reflects anomalous resistivity for topsoil horizon, moderate resistivity for the fresh water bearing sandy materials and low resistivity for the saline water bearing sands or clay. Physico-chemical analysis of groundwater samples shows pH in the range of 6 to 9, EC values 1169 to 4330 μs/cm for the shallow aquifer (20 to 77 m), and 367 to 3820 μs/cm for deep aquifer (198 to 260 m); changing of water quality with depth and higher concentration of sodium and chloride in the shallow aquifer than in the deep aquifer. Hydrochemical facies analysis shows the water of shallow aquifer is NaCl type and that of deep aquifer Ca-Mg-HCO3 type.Keywords
