Abstract
Description
Shallow groundwater systems play a dual role in Nepal’s Terai plains, exemplified by Rautahat District. While these aquifers support the region’s agricultural livelihood, their high-water tables create significant geo-engineering constraints for infrastructure, including elevated dewatering costs, unstable excavations, and flood-prone conditions.
