Application Of The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment(GRACE) Data
In The Study Of Groundwater Hydrogeology
Abstract
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data help to
determine the total water storage anomalies (TWS) across the global
scale. The various other important components such as Groundwater
storage (GWS) and evapotranspiration for the region of South –East Asia
have been determined. With the study of the gravity variation across the
globe the long-term changes in the hydrological cycle can be determined
which can be related to climate science or the influence of
anthropogenic activities. The variation between the Groundwater storage
(GWS) and the Total water storage (TWS) of the study area has been
calculated for the pre and post-monsoon season of the study area. The
variation between groundwater storage and total water storage can be
visualized through geospatial analysis. Therefore, the regions with a
substantial decrease in water storage can be related to various climate
and anthropogenic factors hence implying a sustainable use of
groundwater as a resource. Keywords: Machine Learning, Remote Sensing,
