Application of Geoinformatics for the Delineation of Groundwater Prospects Zones- A Case Study for Melattur Grama Panchayat in Kerala, India

Assessment of groundwater potential zones using multi-influencing factor (MIF) and GIS: a case study from Birbhum district, West Bengal

“…The interrelationship among factors classes (Fig. 3) and assigning of ranks to factor's sub-classes was established based on author's expertise as well as literature review (Kaliraj et al 2014;Senthil-Kumar and Shankar 2014;Dinesan et al 2015;Razandi et al 2015;Taheri et al 2015;Taheri et al 2016;Jothibasu and Anbazhagan 2016;Senanayake et al 2016;Thapa et al 2016;Zabihi et al 2016). Factors having major influence were marked as major effect and were assigned a weight of 1.0 whereas, minor influence were marked as a minor effect with a weight of 0.5 as shown in Table 1 (Magesh et al 2012).…”

AHP based analysis of groundwater potential in the western escarpment of the Ethiopian rift valley

“…Landform units were identified from DEM (SRTM) (Gintamo, 2014;Ibrahim-Bathis & Ahmed, 2016). Groundwater potential is expected to be very high in the vicinity of higher order streams that coincide with lower slope landform class (Dinesan, 2015).…”

Evaluating The Groundwater Potential of Wadi Al-Jizi, Sultanate of Oman By Intergrating Remote Sensing & GIS Techniques

“…The groundwater availability and dynamics depend on soil properties (soil type, porosity, hydraulic conductivity), terrain features (drainage pattern, topography, land-use), geologic and geomorphologic information (lithology, geological structure, depth of weathering, land-forms, fracture magnitude). In addition, climatic conditions and the interrelationship of all the above factors play a vital role in the presence and dynamics of groundwater (Dinesan et al 2015, Sharma & Shukla 2015.…”

“…It is important to identify the areas which have a strong potential for groundwater, so that a balanced utilization and conservation strategy may be adopted for this precious water resource (Das et al 2018). Some terrain features may indicate the presence of groundwater in sub-surface layers (Dinesan et al 2015). The groundwater availability and dynamics depend on soil properties (soil type, porosity, hydraulic conductivity), terrain features (drainage pattern, topography, land-use), geologic and geomorphologic information (lithology, geological structure, depth of weathering, land-forms, fracture magnitude).…”
