Abstract
Proper planning of groundwater exploitation policy in Barind area, Bangaladesh needs the knowledge about the specific yield of the aquifer, whose computed values vary from 8 to 32% with a general decreasing trend from north towards central portion but the southern portion has better specific yield value than the central portion. On the basis of specific yield variation the area is divided into: Zone-I: includes Dhamoirhat, Patnitola, Mohadevpur, Manda, eastern side of Tanore, southern side of Godagari and Nawabganj, Shibganj and Bholahat thanas (specific yield values > 15%); Zone-II: covers the area of Niamatpur thana and the rest part of Nawabganj thana (specific yield valle 10-15%) and Zone-III: includes Nachole thana and the rest of Gomastapur thana (specific yield values <10%).
