Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extend. However over exploitation has depleted groundwater availability. The increased demand for water has increased awareness towards the use of artificial recharge. The lack of effective groundwater recharge structures in a region usually brings about adverse effect on groundwater utilization. Bilha block of Bilaspur district comes under semi-critical stage of ground water development. Looking to the need of groundwater recharge plan for this district a study on groundwater recharge planning was carried out in the Department of Soil and Water Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, IGKV, Raipur. Various thematic maps including District and Block boundaries, drainage, slope, soil texture, lineaments, geology and water level depth were generated in the environment of GIS. Satellite image IRS P6 LISS III, was classified using supervised classification method to generated Landuse map of the area. The total geographical area of the district is 554151 ha in which 42.65% (236210.5 ha) is available for agriculture. The geology map has been also be generated there are find total five formation. The upper, middle and lower reaches of drainage lines were considered for different sizes of check dam. Finally 179 locations were identified for check dams, whereas 147 locations were identified for percolation tanks in Bilaspur district
