Abstract

The study analyzed groundwater fluctuations potential in the Barind area of Naogaon district, North Bengal, Bangladesh, focusing on five Upazilas, Niamatpur, Badalgachi, Patnitala, Mohadevpur, and Manda. Utilizing GIS techniques and secondary data from the BMDA office, the study highlighted the critical need for sustainable water resource management due to significant groundwater depletion, especially from February to May, and recharge during August to October, the findings emphasize the insufficiency of groundwater in parts of the Barind region to meet current water demands, urging the adoption of balanced use of groundwater and surface water. Using data from the BMDA office and employing remote sensing and GIS techniques, the study maps groundwater depths from 2013 to 2022, revealing significant fluctuations with maximum depletion from February to May and elevated levels from August to October. Key findings include a 66.04 feet water table depth in Niamatpur in 2022 and 13.2 feet in Patnitala in 2021.
