“…The gradient of slope is one of the factors that directly influence the runoff and infiltration of rainfall in that steeper slopes generate high runoff (Selvam et al, 2015). Flat areas with gentle slope are capable of holding rainfall, thereby enabling infiltration of water and reduction of formation of overland flow, whereas in areas where the slope amount is high, there will be high runoff due to rapid development of overland flow.…”

Abstract:Identifying landscapes with similar hydrological characteristics is useful for the determination of dominant runoff process (DRP) and flood prediction. Several approaches used for DRP-mapping differ in respect to time and data requirement. Manual approaches based on field investigation and expert knowledge are time consuming and difficult to implement at regional scale. Automatic GIS-based approach on the other hand require simplification of data but are easier to implement and it is applicable on regional scale.

The hydrogeological setup of India represents a wide variation, from rugged Himalayan mountainous region in the north, extensive Indo-Ganga-Brahmaputra floodplain and deltaic region in the central and eastern part, aeolian-alluvial deposits in the west, vast basalt flows in the west central part, gently undulating central and southern region underlain by Precambrian crystalline, sedimentary and metamorphic, coastal deposits along the east coast etc.The research on hydrogeology has got special socioeconomic significance because India is now the largest extractor of groundwater in the world. The impact of overexploitation of the resource is surfacing in large parts of the country, in the form of lowering of water level, dwindling yield of well and deterioration in water quality.In recent years, extensive studies have been carried out in this field of geoscience. We have discussed these in different segments, after enumerating the broad hydrological framework of India. The segments are 1. Hydrogeological investigations in Indo-Ganga-Brahmaputra Plains holding one of the potential aquifer systems 2. Groundwater chemistry and contamination issues in Peninsular India 3. Urban hydrogeology 4. Groundwater modeling 5. Ground water exploration 6. Groundwater recharge and associated quality issues 7. Remote sensing and GIS applications 8. Coastal aquifers and 9. Groundwater management.It is observed that the potential groundwater reserve in the Indo-Gangetic basin and the Peninsular part of India has two serious issues: 1. Overexploitation of groundwater mainly in the western and north western parts and also in southern peninsular India in pockets and 2. Groundwater quality deterioration by anomalous concentration of arsenic, fluoride and salinity. The findings of the research will help in understanding the hydrogeological complexities in its entire gamut and also offers insight into the ways for sustainable management of groundwater resource of the country.

Identification of groundwater potential zones in the hard and soft rock terrains of Kogi State, North Central Nigeria: an integrated GIS and remote sensing techniques

The availability of groundwater varies from region to region, place to place, sometimes within a few meters and even within the same geological formation. In the study area, an integration of various thematic maps such as geomorphologic, slope, drainage density, land use/land cover maps derived from remote sensing images, geological and lineament density maps and soil map helped in generation of groundwater potential zone map using the weighted overlay analysis in ArcGIS by assigning suitable weights on the Saaty's scale according to their importance in occurrence of groundwater. However, the assigned weights of the thematic layers and their features were then normalized by using AHP. The groundwater potential zones in the study area were grouped into four classes, and their distributions are: excellent (10.23%), good (51.35%), moderate (34.26%) and poor (4.16%). Excellent groundwater prospect map which covered only 10.23% of the study area falls within the lowlands and plains. For the accuracy of the groundwater potential zone map of the study area based on RS and GIS-based model, it was validated with the data on existing boreholes which was collated for 60 boreholes in the study area and shows positive correlation.
