Recently Kerala State received more than 2800 mm rainfall. In some of the places open wells are completely drained after a week of heavy rainfall. Is it possible to find out where the water has gone? suggest suitable methodology to trace the water. and also to identify the reasons for such an abnormal natural event?
It has been painful to watch the devastating effects of floods in the state of Kerala. I can only imagine your situation making sense of that has been in the aftermath.
A search in the journal groundwater showed this review paper that has talked about the different chemical markers that can be used to study the direction as well as velocity of the flow of water. It can shed some light on the where water has gone. You may need assistance of an expert in hydrogeology who has worked on such projects. Once you can ascertain the path of the flow, it would become evidently clearer why it has happened in that manner.
