Hi Daniel Frazier, P.E. , Thanks for the response. I do had the same doubt, but unfortunately we don't have the data for the springs. The streamflows are mostly from the direct runoff, very few are of exfiltration from groundwater - I did not see such broad area of aquifers to store water for run off. Indeed, there was massive exploitation of ground water for agriculture in this area. As I said earlier to above query - The catchment area is 2 miles far and 100 meters different in altitude to the agricultural area for borewell - Will that still impact the runoff ? Thanks Murthi
