The results showed that the hydrogeological units are composed of sequences of sands, including fine to gravelly sands minimally laced with sandy clay, according to the results of geo-electrical technology.

The aquifer systems considered have resistivity values ranging from 26.3 to 3576.5Ωm and mean value of 832.97Ωm. The five vulnerability models deployed showed very high spatial variability and moderate negative and positive binary correlations, construed to be due to subjectivity in the weight-rate assignment. The coefficients of variation (CV) from sensitivity analysis (SA) indicated variation in the vulnerability index due to topography (9.7%) and the impact of the vadose zone (4.3%), which are marginally higher than the 1.6% displayed by other parameters. The groundwater displayed WHO's disallowed concentrations of heavy ions, and the SA indicated that CV for the groundwater geochemical contamination is variably high in cadmium ions (140.9%) followed by manganese ions (132%) and copper ions (88. 2%) across the wells. The moderately variable contribution distributions across the wells are nickel ions (48.8%), lead ions (41.6%), chromium ions (39.8%) and iron ions (35.0%).

The study area is Purulia, a district in India. Extensive literature review was conducted to identify key factors influencing rainwater harvesting. Open-source remotely sensed data were employed to pinpoint rainwater harvesting potential zones. A multi-criteria decision-making technique was applied to assess the importance of various factors. Results indicated that rainfall, slope, runoff potential, soil, land cover, and drainage density are the six crucial factors for selecting suitable rainwater harvesting locations. Approximately 2% of the area is unsuitable, 8% is poorly suitable, 33% is moderately suitable, 45% is highly suitable, and the remaining 12% is extremely suitable in Purulia. Two predictive models were developed, with the RF algorithm demonstrating nearly 99% accuracy. Finally, remedial techniques for mitigating water scarcity through rainwater harvesting are discussed separately for urban and rural areas.

The measured physicochemical properties showed that pH, salinity, total hardness, nitrate, and phosphate were found to be higher in Kumarasamy lake, followed by Ukkadam and Valankulam lake ecosystems. The higher rotifer population density was observed in Valankulam lake (1820 Ind./L), and lower in Kumarasamy lake (1080 Ind./L).

This difference may be due to the influence of human activities and the mixing of various points and non-point sources of pollutants.

Understanding its evolutionary trends is essential for the development of effective water conservation measures. Employing linear fitting, Mann–Kendall, and wavelet analysis techniques, this study scrutinizes the trends and periodicity in precipitation, air temperature, and runoff within the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin from 1960 to 2019. The findings elucidate that temperatures in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River have been progressively increasing on an annual basis, while precipitation exhibits periodic fluctuations, and annual runoff demonstrates a declining trajectory. Sudden changes in runoff and temperature transpired in the years 1985 and 1997, respectively, whereas sudden changes in annual precipitation occurred in 1961 and 2012. On an annual scale, the influence of temperature and precipitation on runoff displays no evident prominent cycle. Notably, a significant negative correlation exists between temperature and runoff, with the noteworthy impact of temperature on runoff primarily manifesting in the 6-year sub-cycle spanning 1986 to 1992, as well as the 9-year sub-cycle encompassing 1963 to 1972. Conversely, precipitation and runoff exhibit a significant positive correlation. The substantial effect of precipitation on runoff is mainly concentrated within the 9-year sub-cycle from 1963 to 1972 and the 8-year sub-cycle from 1972 to 1980. Precipitation emerges as the primary driving force behind watershed runoff.
