Anand Agricultural University, Anand

Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development. In pursuing its various programmes AAU's overall mission is to promote sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society. AAU aims to do this through education, research and extension education. Thus, AAU works towards the empowerment of the farmers.

    IDENTIFICATION OF SITES FOR GROUNDWATER RECHARGE STRUCTURES BY MAPPING OF LINEAMENTS AND STREAM NETWORKS
    (COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY GODHRA, 2021) KAUSHAL GADARIYA; Dr. G. R. Patel
    Groundwater is a dynamic and replenishable natural resource. It is also valuable resource for drinking, domestic, livestock use, and irrigation, especially in arid and semiarid regions. The present study investigates the groundwater recharge potential zone as well as to identify potential sites for Groundwater recharge structures using integrated remote sensing (RS), geographical information system (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques for augmenting groundwater resources in the Panam basin, middle Gujarat region, India, which has been facing water shortage problems for the past few years. The methodology was implemented at a large catchment scale in Panam Basin with an area of 2348 sq. km. The factors which influence the groundwater recharge are: Lineament density, Stream density, Runoff, Slope, LULC and Soil, have been studied separately as well as utilized to generate thematic layers to identify potential sites of groundwater recharge structures, using GIS and remote sensing techniques. Different themes and their corresponding features were assigned proper weights supported their relative contribution to groundwater recharge within the territory, and normalized weights were figured by applying the Saaty’s analytic hierarchy process (AHP). All the thematic layers have been reclassified and integrated in GIS environment with application of overlay technique to delineate groundwater Recharge Potential zones and identify potential sites.
