Inadequate supply of irrigation water
and improper monitoring system of water
supply.
Occasional water shortages and
drought especially in off-season planting.
Surface water resource become
polluted.

The main objective of this research is to
analyze pumping test data from shallow
tube well and evaluate groundwater
potential of Seberang Perak aquifer.
i. To determine hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer from pumping test.
ii. To evaluate the performance of the
pumping well.

The study was conducted at the Block C, Kg. Sg. Jejawi, Seberang Perak Integrated Agriculture Development Area (IADA).
The study area is located between latitudes of 4o 2’ – 4 o 6’ in the north and longitudes of 100 o 55’ – 100 o 59’ in the east.
The paddy cultivation is planted twice a year where harvesting months are from June to July for season one and from November to December for season two.

The preliminary study on the resistivity test
at the site shows that the area is covered
with alluvium deposit with resistivity values
between 10 and 800 Ω.m.
The water stored at the upper layer (less
than 20 m depth) is the fresh water and the
water stored at deeper aquifer (more than 20
m) is expected brackish water due to low
resistivity values.

Specific capacity of the tested well was
found to be 5.62481 m2hr-1
The relationship of the drawdown-discharge

Seberang Perak Crop Water Requirement
Irrigated Area (Area Covered with water)
Estimated Volume of Water Required
The wide of
irrigated area is 8000 m2
775 mm per season (119 days)
Volume of
groundwater
required is 6200 m3 for one season

The potential yield = specific capacity x the
fraction (one half to two third) of the
available drawdown of the pumping well.
The available drawdown of the pumping
well was 6.1484 m (the depth from static
water level to pump’ suction area).
The average value of specific capacity
was found to be 6 m3hr-1
The allowable drawdown was assumed as
half from available drawdown for the
safety purpose
![Page 22: Academic Talk - Performance of Shallow Tube Well on Groundwater Irrigation in Tropical Lowland Rice Cultivation Area](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020417/563dbb13550346aa9aaa13cb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The potential yield of the pumping well
was calculated as 18.75 m3hr-1 (450
m3day-1).
Since, the potential yield of the well was
exceeded the average water demand
for one day, single pumping well was
enough and sufficient to irrigate 1
hectare of paddy field.

By knowing the characteristic of the
aquifer, amount of groundwater can be
estimated.
Groundwater can become alternative
water source during critical time as well
as during disaster.
