Statistical trend analysis demonstrates significant improvements in groundwater levels in Telangana, indicating effective water management practices.
This study investigated groundwater level changes in Nuthankal village, Suryapet district, Telangana, using monthly data from 2014 to 2024. Statistical trend analysis methods, including the Mann-Kendall test, Sen’s slope estimator, Modified Mann–Kendall test, and Innovative Trend Analysis, were applied to detect patterns in groundwater fluctuations. The results revealed a significant upward trend in groundwater levels, with the water table having risen from 10–12 meters to 3–5 meters below ground over the decade. The most pronounced improvements occured during the monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter seasons, attributed to enhanced recharge and reduced extraction. These findings highlighted the effectiveness of advanced trend analysis techniques in groundwater monitoring and emphasized the importance of sustained water management practices for ensuring long-term water security in the region.
