摘要：Depletion of groundwater has become a problem in the rural sector. It has bearing on converging the source by technological intervention which has led to deprivation of poor section of the society. The present study has attempted to understand the causes and effect of well water depletion by selecting a small watershed viz. Pondhra basin in the Karmala tahsil of Solpur District, Maharashtra. The paper concludes that the fluctuation of well water is maximum near the water divide and hence there is need for the watershed development programmes in the basin. The average fluctuation in the basin is found to be 4.53 m. The water level fluctuation is highest in the village Morwad i.e 5.68 and lowest in the village Vit and Undergaon i.e 2 m. The average rainfall in the basin is 567 mm with high spatial variation (Standard Deviation 28.66 mm).The study further concludes that such programmes should be planned taking into account the site factors.
