The project team conduct a detailed literature survey to
gather more details on the related study followed by the baseline assessment to
establish the current status of the groundwater system and associated catchment
characterization with aid of fieldwork (Geophysical surveys [Electrical
Resistivity], Soil permeability field tests, soil profiles, steady state
pumping tests) desk and social studies, data pre-post processing, analysis,
interpretation, derive recommendations and reporting work. Next feasibility
study and concept design were conducted on developing managed aquifer recharge
(MAR) systems for the islands with a specific emphasis on flood water
management, followed by the detail design of MAR systems.
