Abstract:
Groundwater is a very important natural resource and has a significant role in the economy. It is the main source of water for irrigation and the food industry. In general, groundwater is a reliable source of water for agriculture and can be used in a flexible manner. The present study was undertaken in the 24 observation wells of the Dharwad district of Karnataka. To assess the relationship between selected weather parameters and groundwater level, the techniques of correlation and regression analysis were employed, and the results obtained by correlation and regression analysis, which were used to study the relationship between selected weather parameters and groundwater levels, showed that groundwater levels are negatively correlated with rainfall and positively correlated with temperature and both rainfall and temperature were found to contribute significantly to the variation in groundwater levels in most of the wells.
