Improvement of Aquifer Level with Implementation of Artificial Feeding Project; Case Study: Tukhoor Plain

In arid and semi-arid regions, much of the urban and rural water and agricultural water is supplied by groundwater. Among these aquifers is the Tukhoor Plain, which has been in a downward trend due to the overwhelming extraction of wells over the years. In this study, the quantitative effect of Artificial Feeding Project, during the flooding period, on the groundwater level of the downstream aquifer was investigated. In order to study the impact of the dam on groundwater, two control wells and three experimental wells were used. Groundwater table fluctuations were analyzed in two statistical periods 7 years ago (19972004) and after project implementation (2004-2011). The results showed that although the rainfall data in the area before and after the project did not change significantly, the water level in all selected experimental wells increased after the project but decreased in the control wells. Has found. This indicates the positive impact of the implementation of the project on groundwater level.
