Impact of Exceptional Monsoon Rainfall on Groundwater Recharge in Rajasthan's Arid Districts: A Post-Monsoon Assessment 2024

Author(s) Ms. Neetu Yadav, Prof. R N Sharma
Country India
Abstract This study examines the unprecedented groundwater recharge phenomenon in Rajasthan, India, following exceptional monsoon rainfall in 2024. The state, characterized by acute water scarcity and representing only 1% of India's total water resources despite covering 10% of its geographical area, experienced abnormal precipitation across 26 of its 33 districts. Using post-monsoon assessment data from the Rajasthan Groundwater Department, this research analyzes the spatial and temporal variations in groundwater level improvements across different hydrogeological zones. The findings reveal an average groundwater level rise of 5.82 meters statewide, with Chittorgarh district recording the maximum increase of 14 meters. Despite covering only 12% of safe groundwater blocks before the monsoon, the state witnessed significant replenishment, potentially alleviating the critical situation where 88% of blocks were classified as critical, semi-critical, or over-exploited. The study also explores the implications of improved groundwater levels on water quality, public health, and socio-economic conditions in rural areas where 87% of drinking water is sourced from groundwater. The research provides crucial insights for water resource management strategies and highlights the vulnerability and resilience of groundwater systems in arid and semi-arid regions under climate variability.
Keywords Groundwater recharge, monsoon rainfall, water scarcity, dark zones, groundwater exploitation, water quality, arid regions, post-monsoon assessment, hydrogeology
