dc.description.abstractThe present research work was conducted in the Burhi Gandak river Basin which is anintegral part of major basins in north Bihar. The assessment ofavailable groundwater resource was accomplished by the latest data provided by the CGWB and methods of surface water assessment was done using the discharge data of the gauge stations lying within the basin. The demand side of the basin that considered major water demanding sectors like crop water demand , domestic, livestock and industrial water demand. The CWR of major crops was estimated using FAO’s CROPWAT 8.0 model. The domestic and livestock water demand was estimated using the estimated and projected population from the latest census reports available. The industrial water demand was assessed by the data provided by CGWB, 2022 ArcGIS software and Google Earth Engine, a cloud-basedplatform, were primarily used toassess thedynamics of land use and cover change.Three sets oftime periods, 2013, 2017, and 2022, were examined using LANDSAT pictures to assess theclassificationoflanduseandlandcoverwithchangingdynamics.Totalsixclasses- forest, vegetation, waterbodies, built-up area, agricultural area and barren land wereusedinthe LULCclassificationscheme. Thesupervisedclassificationscheme,RandomForest algorithm was used by the Google Earth Engine to analyze this LULC categorizationThe overallaccuracy and Kappa statistic for LULC classification were found to be 66.67 % and 66.67 %,72.22 % and 0.53, 0.53 and 0.72 for year 2013, 2017 and 2022 respectively.The average surface water available in the BG basin was 4.51 BCM and the total ground water available was 2.85 BCM making the total water resource available in the basin to be 7.36 BCM. Total water demand of all the sectors including crop water requirements, domestic water demand , livestock water demand and industrial water demand for year was estimated to be 3.85 BCM and total water demand for the projected year 2027 was 4.21 BCM. Total water balance of the basin for year 2022 was estimated to be 3.50 BCM and 3.15 BCM for the projected year 2027. The LULC change dynamics were observed between the years of 2013 and 2022, and it wasfoundthat,asaresultofindustrializationandpopulationgrowth,theareaextentofvegetation, agriculturalland,andbarren landdecreasedby -8.18 percent,-25.40 percent and -56.28 percent, respectively, while forest and waterbodies increased by 11.26 and 65.95 percent. Finally, a sustainable water resource management plan was compiled that suggested conjunctive use of water available water, resources resource conservation techniques with utilization of MIS technology incorporating with promotion of IFS (integrated farming system).
