| Abstract | The long-term mean monthly and mean annual water balance computations for the Upper and Lower. Chao Phraya and Mae Klong River Basins have been
performed to determine the· fractions of the rainfall that become the· stream flow, evapotranspiration and the ground water recharge. Only the ground water recharge in the Lower Chao Phraya River Basin is considered as the ground
water recharge to the confined aquifers in the Bangkok Area and is equal to 995 x 10 6 gallons/day. Safe yield due to salt-water encroachment in the Nakhon Luang Aquifer which occurred in 1968 in the Bangkok Area is computed taking the
difference between the down-valley flow and sea-watd fresh water flow and amounts to 33.43 x 106 gallons/day or 4 percent of the total ground water recharge. Safe yield due to water supply is estimated based on the total pumpage from the aquifers in the Bangkok Area and the pumpage from the Nakhon Luang Aquifer in the same location. The safe yield due to water supply of the
Nakhon Luang Aquifer is estimated as 24 x 10 6 gallons/day or 2.4 percent of
the total ground water recharge. |
