Groundwater, a vital freshwater resource catering to agricultural, domestic, and industrial needs, faces a pressing challenge of contamination due to escalating human activities. This study focuses on the Ayad River Basin in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan, employing the FEFLOW simulation code for the first time. A steady-state numerical model and a groundwater contaminant prediction model for total dissolved solids (TDS), nitrate, and fluoride were developed, simulating trends over the next five years with an accuracy exceeding 95%.

Geomorphological analysis is useful for managing land resources and aid in resource inventory, mapping, and management for a variety of purposes. The science of geomorphology is now better able to comprehend surface dynamics because to recent improvements in remote sensing and GIS, the availability of satellite-based DEM, and improvements in mathematical modelling skills.

MIKEcalsetup is an open-source python tool that
provides an opportunity to create a calibration setup of a MIKE SHE model in PEST and
OSTRICH. The python tool writes an input file, template files, a forward model batch script and observation files. The setup provided by mikecalsetup is ready-to-run and is easily augmented through several instance variables, to create the desired calibration setup. mikecalsetup is applied in the ongoing project “Integrated water resources assessment of Udaipur District” funded by Danida Fellowship Centre to setup a calibration in OSTRICH of a MIKE SHE model of the Banas-Berach catchment. The tool is also used to support the calibration of the national water resource model of Denmark, the DK-model. Further, the tool has been applied in five Master thesis projects.

Water scarcity has been a long-lasting problem in Udaipur despite the several man-made lakes. Due to excessive usage, the stage of groundwater development in the Ayad river basin, Udaipur has reached 101.88%. The study has focused on hydrological and hydrogeological investigations to estimate and project the groundwater resources using data collected from various sources.

The research aims to evaluate groundwater quality for drinking and irrigation by assessing physico-chemical parameters and using the Weighted Arithmetic Water Quality Index (WAWQI) method to calculate the Groundwater Quality Index (GWQI) from 2000 to 2023. The findings suggest a decreasing GWQI trend from west to east in the basin, with good groundwater quality (GWQI below 50) in the southern regions near the cities Umarda, Ramgiri, Undri, and Hariyab.
