Spatiotemporal Reconstruction of Groundwater Depletion in India’s Oldest Coalfield Using Machine Learning and GIS, With InSAR and Fractal Analysis Insights
Rapid mining expansion, urban growth, and climate variability have intensified groundwater (GW) stress in several industrial regions of India. This is particularly true in the country’s oldest coalfield, the Raniganj area. However, long-term high-resolution monitoring of groundwater storage (GWS) and groundwater levels...
