Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the waterlogging situation in Faisalabad city and to predict its behaviour under various operational policies. Another objective was to identify the groundwater potential in well field aquifer near River Chenab and to select the best pumping scheme for water supply to the city keeping in view the problem of waterlogging and increasing demand in the city. A distributed-parameter aquifer simulation model was calibrated and utilized to predict the future response of watertable in Faisalabad city under different pumping schemes. Three different alternative schemes of pumping were tested and the best pumping scheme was recommended for field application. The results predicted by simulation indicated that reduced pumpage in the city would result in rise of watertable. Pumping scheme with proposed location of well field outside the city (near river Chenab) was found to be the "best" alternative to meet the future demand of city.
