4 Abstract

 In Bangladesh, groundwater is the primary source of drinking water.

Groundwater is used for drinking, irrigation, and other uses by about 97% of the
rural population and 75% of the urban population. However, excessive
groundwater extraction for irrigation and other uses has caused a rapid decrease
in the groundwater table, which is posing significant environmental, social, and
economic issues for the nation. The groundwater resources of Bangladesh are
discussed in general terms in this study, along with the issues associated with
managing them and potential solutions. The study discusses groundwater's
sources, quality, level of over-extraction, and associated environmental and
socioeconomic effects. The study outlines the institutional and policy issues that
groundwater resource management faces.
5 Introduction

 Bangladesh, a nation that has seen tremendous population growth and

urbanization over the past few decades, depends heavily on groundwater for
human existence and economic progress. The majority of the rural population
relies on it as their main source of drinking water, and it is also an important
source of water for agriculture and industrial usage. There are now
environmental, social, and economic issues as a result of the overuse of
groundwater resources, which has caused the water table to drop. Due to
Bangladesh's dependence on agriculture, which generates more than 14% of the
nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs about 45% of the labor
force, the country is experiencing a serious problem with the depletion of its
groundwater resources. The water table has risen as a result of extensive
groundwater use for irrigation.
6 Background
 Groundwater is a important natural resources for their use in domestic, farming,
and industrial purposes.
 It is assumed that globally almost one-third of fresh water comes from
groundwater .
 36%, 42%, and 27% of the total groundwater is utilized for ménage, husbandry,
and industrial uses respectively (Taylor et al., 2013).
 In the last 45 years, nine major droughts hit Bangladesh affecting the
groundwater resources (Rahaman et al. 2018).
 The most effective approach for this is scientific aquifer mapping which is not
used in most developing countries (Diaz-Alacide et al.2019; Yu et al.2019).
 Identification of groundwater potential zone is becoming ever so important due to
climate change.
7 Objectives

 Assess the status of groundwater resources in Bangladesh, including the sources

and quality of groundwater, the extent of over-extraction, and contamination.
 Identify the environmental, social, and economic impacts of groundwater
depletion and contamination in Bangladesh.
8 Significance

 The output of this research will provide valuable information to develop

sustainable groundwater management.
 We will also get some points, how to use our existing water and how we can
make thinks better to development groundwater effectively.
 The results of this study are important to have proper administration,
management, and sustainable use of groundwater resources.
9 Literature Review
 Topic-1
 A national-level study on groundwater potentiality Mapping using a hybrid
machine learning models
 Under the scenario of climate change.
 Methods: The digital elevation model (DEM) of SRTM
Mann-Kendall test
Logistic regression model
 Finding: The study also shows that the water table is declining significantly in the
north-western and central parts of the country. This is possible because of the
over pumping of the groundwater for industrial, domestic as well as irrigational
purposes. This study may help identify the problem areas for groundwater
management and conservation for policymakers and groundwater hydrologists.
  Topic-2
10  Mapping Shallow Groundwater Quality using GIS: A Study from a Small Catchment in
Northwestern Region of Bangladesh.
 Methods: Inverse Distance Weighed (IDW) algorithm
 Finding: The estimated water quality indices demonstrates that GW quality in the study
area is quite satisfactory for irrigation purposes and the corresponding suitable area
have been delineated by producing different spatial extent maps. This study can offer
the requisite information for the authority to pursue the sustainable approaches on GW
management and contamination prevention.
 Topic-3
 Groundwater Dynamics in Pabna District, Bangladesh.
 Methods: Contour map
 Finding: Static water level data provides a great deal of information about groundwater
dynamics. The recharge of groundwater is influenced by surface water body and
rainfall. On the other hand, groundwater discharge occurs due to abstraction used for
various purposes. It is observed that there is a declining nature of groundwater level.
This result indicates that recharge and discharge are not in equilibrium condition.
11 Materials and Methods
12

 Here we have used station basis groundwater level data in Trend Analysis. Here
Trend analysis is a design research methodology involves collecting data about
users as well as from users. In descriptive analysis are frequency distribution,
central tendency, and variability of a data set. The Mann-Kendall test analysis the
sign of the difference between later-measured data and earlier-measured data.
When trend analysis gives a significant trend (positive or negative) Sen’s slope is
than to capture the magnitude of the trend.
13 Result and Discussion
 The results of this study will offer important knowledge for creating sustainable
groundwater management. Additionally, we will learn about smart groundwater
development and how to use the water we already have. The findings of this
study are crucial for proper groundwater resource administration, management,
and sustainable use.Our primary goal in conducting this study is to determine the
current groundwater conditions in Dhaka City in comparison to ten to twenty
years ago. We have seen that the groundwater level is decreasing day by day and
some parameter are directly caused for them. The land cover of Dhaka city
decreasing rapidly and the amount of rainfall also decreasing as

14 Conclusion

 In conclusion, the study has demonstrated the urgent need for sustainable
groundwater management practices in Bangladesh. The recommendations and
policy frameworks developed in this study may have important implications for
improving water management practices in developing countries, ultimately
contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals. The study
highlights the importance of addressing groundwater management challenges and
underscores the need for immediate action to ensure the sustainability of water
resources in Bangladesh.
