Hydraulic Characteristics of Groundwater Aquifer in Taungoo Area, Bago Region Daw Zin Nwe Khaing U Min Han Nyein The study area is located in Taungoo Township, Bago Region. It lies between north latitude 18°55' N and 19°00'N between east longitude 96°15'E and 96°30'E. The main stream is Sittaung River flowing at the east of taungoo town with the general direction of the flow being north to south. Taungoo area has tropical monsoon climate. Alluvial aquifer is lying at depth (25ft to 100 ft) and water bearing horizon is (80ft to 90ft). Discharge range is about 900 gph from 2" diameter tube well. Irrawaddy aquifer is lying at (165ft to 315 ft) and water bearing horizon is (200ft to 300 ft). Discharge range is about 4000 gph from 4 " diameter tube well. The groundwater flow direction of the study area is from west to east towards the Sittaung River. The pumping out test shows that the transmissivity of the aquifer in Taungoo township is 102 m2/day. The recovery test shows that KD is found to be 74.28 m2/day. Geophysical investigated measured in the study area 3 VES points based on resistivity method (Schlumberger). 2026-01-02 https://meral.edu.mm/records/12811
