“…Many spatial problems give rise to GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis [9]. With the introduction of remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques, an easy procedure to estimate the spatial distribution of groundwater sources from very high to low levels became possible [10]- [18]. A GIS framework was developed and analyzed by Das et al [19] for the investigation of potential groundwater resources.…”

Water scarcity is the major problem in India where the population has been tremendously increasing, which results in invading natural resources, thus affects on hydrological processes. Because of this, significant surface water bodies have been disappearing continuously. Therefore, more pressure on groundwater resources is a consequence of that. The integration of remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS), which helps in groundwater research for the investigation of potential groundwater availability, is essential to assess, monitor, and conserve groundwater resources. This analysis reports on the mapping of various potential groundwater resources in the Kolleru Lake catchment, India, by using remote sensing and GIS techniques. For this, a survey of India toposheets and IRC-1C satellite imageries was used to prepare thematic layers of geomorphology, drainage density, lineament, slope, land-use, soil, rainfall, and NDVI converted into raster format in ArcGIS. The raster maps of these thematic layers were assigned to a weight-based factor depending on the catchment characteristics and its topographic influence. The results demonstrated that about 7% of the area is under excellent groundwater potential recharge. Good, moderate, and lower potential conditions are 42%, 38%, and 13%, respectively. The results indicated that the management of groundwater potential zones should be targeted on the middle-catchment region. Further, the results were validated with the borehole data obtained from the Government of Andhra Pradesh-Groundwater Department. These results are useful for better both planning and groundwater management sources in the Kolleru Lake catchment.

“…The combination of these two technologies has shown to be a useful tool for determining groundwater potential. Groundwater flow and occurrence are governed by various parameters, including rock type and structural attributes, topography, land use/land cover, landform pattern, drainage network and weather conditions (Jaiswal et al 2003, Ali et al 2015, Yeh et al 2016, Thapa et al 2017, Golla et al 2018. For assessing the Groundwater Potential Zones (GWPZs) in Tripura, eight thematic maps were evaluated in the current study.…”

For both the rural and urban environment, groundwater is a key source of water supply and particularly significant due to its consistent supply at times when the supply of surface water becomes deficit. The present study area also has certain pockets experiencing water scarcity both seasonal and non-seasonal due to its physiographic setting. Therefore, locating possible areas of groundwater is of immense significance in managing the groundwater through recharge for securing the continuous availability of this resource. In the present study, Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) such as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique was applied along with Geographical Information System (GIS) technique to identify the groundwater prospective zones. The results of the study reveal that the flood plains and intermontane synclinal trough exhibit huge potential for groundwater. However, very low to low potential for groundwater is observed in the anticlinal hill ranges and terraces and tillas. The potential for groundwater decreases as one progress towards the north of the state. The areas which show low and moderate potential for groundwater may be recharged artificially or naturally.

“…Lineaments are created by tectonic activity, and it reveals information related to underlying structural features through surface topographic conditions [61]. Lineament density plays a key role in controlling the infiltration of surface water into the aquifer and thus leads to a direct relationship exists between lineament density and groundwater-potential zones [3,62]. The weightage assigned to lineament density is based on the lineament's proximity.…”

This paper aims to identify the groundwater-potential zones in coastal zones of the Cuddalore district by integrating remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS), and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques. The thematic layers such as geomorphology, landuse/land cover, lineament density, geology, soil, drainage density, rainfall, and slope are considered for the identification of groundwater-potential zones. The groundwater-potential zones are categorized into five zones as ‘very good’, ‘good’, ‘moderate’, ‘poor’, and ‘very poor’. From the study, it is observed that the rainwater/surface water infiltration to the aquifer is high in the eastern region due to flat topography, and thus, these zones possess ‘very good’ and ‘good’ groundwater-potential zones. The groundwater potential in the central region of the study area possesses moderate infiltration capacity, which is suitable for agricultural practices. Moreover, it is also observed that the groundwater potential is ‘poor’ and ‘very poor’ in the northwest region due to steep slopes in which suitable recharge structures should be constructed in these zones to harvest the rainwater. Eventually, the obtained results are validated with existing bore wells in the study area, and it reveals that a GIS-based integrated method is an effective tool for the exploration of groundwater resources with high accuracy.
