Abstract

Identifying and visualizing groundwater depletion zonation is crucial for the scientific management of precious groundwater resources. Therefore, the main objective of this present study is to delineate groundwater depletion zonation (GDZ) using Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) integrated with GIS. The 13 relevant groundwater depletion parameters, i.e., NDBI, GMIS, groundwater trend and magnitudes, cropping intensity, irrigated area, population density, RAI in wet and dry seasons, and VCI were considered. This study also evaluated rainfall and groundwater trends and magnitudes using non-parametric Mann–Kendall (MK) and Sen’s slope (Q) estimator tests. From the MK result, groundwater trend in wet season ranges −4.11 to 3.05 and dry season ranges −2.24 to 3.28, whereas Sen’s slope in wet season −0.11 to 0.07 and dry season −0.11 to 0.39. The groundwater depletion zonation showed that 23.09, 49.90, 19.02, 793 and 0.06 areas were delineated as very low, low, medium, high, and very high susceptibility zones. Results also showed that middle portions of this district face high to very high groundwater depletion. So, a proper sustainable groundwater management plan is needed to replenish this precious natural resource.
