“…In addition, it is widely used to characterize the earth surface (such as lineaments, drainage patterns and lithology) as well as to examine the groundwater recharge zones (Sener et al 2005). Applications of GIS and RS for the exploration of groundwater potential zones are carried out by a number of researchers around the world, the factors involved in determining the groundwater potential zones are different according to the geographical regions, and hence the results vary accordingly (Teeuw 1995;Krishnamurthy et al 1996;Tiwari and Rai 1996;Das et al 1997;Thomas et al 1999;Pratap et al 2000;Murthy 2000;Sahid et al 2000;Jaiswal et al 2003;Leblanc et al 2003;Rao and Jugran 2003;Sener et al 2005;Yeh et al 2009;Ganapuram et al 2009;Varade et al 2011;Mayilvaganan et al 2011;Magesh et al 2012;Abdalla 2012;Bera and Bandyopadhyay 2012;Manap et al 2013;Suganthi et al 2013;Al-Abadi and Al-Shamma 2014;Rahmati et al 2014;Naveenkumar et al 2015;Pathak and Shrestha 2016;Bashe 2017;Hussein et al 2017;Pathak 2017 andSaha 2017). )…”

“…They further suggest that, in hard rock terrain lineaments are very important for high yield as compared to medium yield from weathered rock. Mayilvaganan et al (2011) used RS and GIS for the delineation of groundwater potential on Thurinjapuram block of Thiruvannamalai District of Tamilnadu, India. The study incorporated the thematic layers such as lithology, geomorphology, drainage, soil, lineaments, land use and surface waterbody extracted from the satellite imageries and soil and drainage maps were digitized from published map.…”

“…This technique has been used to solve problems related to groundwater by integrating various data. These data, in the form of thematic layers in GIS, are spatially integrated using mathematical and Boolean operators to develop a model depending on the objective of the problems (Mayilvaganan et al 2011).…”

Due to global increase in human population, the groundwater has been extensively used to meet the water demand for domestic as well as agricultural purpose. The number of deep and shallow wells has increased exponentially. For these purpose the groundwater potential area has to be delineated so as to delineate the area for intervention for groundwater abstraction. The determination of groundwater potential with the aquifer characteristics is not always possible due to unavailability of secondary data and from financial aspect. The delineation of groundwater potential with the integration of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) as well as with the aid of geophysical data could be an effective approach. Groundwater delineation in mountainous region uses different hydrogeologic parameters like rainfall, slope, elevation, drainage density, lineament density, lithology/geology, land use/land cover (LULC), soil, etc., whereas in case of alluvial basins, parameters like aquifer material, soil, LULC, water table, specific yield, storage coefficient, transmissivity, etc. are used. The assignment of weight for the factors and rank for their classes are important steps in the Groundwater Potential Mapping (GPM) using GIS overlay. The weights for the different parameters have to be assigned as per their role in groundwater occurrences. Different methods like Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), expert’s knowledge, probability weight approach, bivariate analysis, etc. have been used for assigning weights and ranks and the predicted potential need to be validated. Generally in mountainous aquifer, spring inventory forms the basic data for the verification. In addition, the aquifer characteristics like water table, yield, transmissivity can be used for the validation in flat lands. This method of delineation of groundwater potential is found to be appropriate with acceptable accuracy. Globally, there is increasing trend in the use of GIS and Remote Sensing for the identification of groundwater potential in recent time. Bulletin of Department of Geology, vol. 20-21, 2018, pp: 7-20

“…Structural hills are characterized by composed of composite ridges and valleys traversed by structural features. These areas are having high runoff and low infiltration along secondary fractures; category-wise these are poor for groundwater potentiality [20], whereas pediplain is developed as a result of continuous processes of pediplaination so groundwater potentiality is good in pediplain area [21].…”

“…The validation of the Groundwater potential zones was checked with the Groundwater level depth data of open wells. A comparison of this study between the water level depth data and groundwater potential zones map were done [20]. For this comparison, the groundwater levels of pre monsoon data were collected from the field from thirty existing open wells during the years 2010 and 2015.…”

In present days many researchers have delineated groundwater potential zones using Remote Sensing and GIS techniques by the Weighted Index Overlay Analysis (WIOA) for various geographic regions of the world. Many of the researchers have not been given weightage calcualtions for the thematic layers they considered in their research. But in this research, a detailed approach have been given for weightage calcultions for various thematic layers considered. In this research the following thematic layers have been taken which include Land use/Land cover, Geomorphology, Geology, Soil, Drainage density, Lineament density, Lineament frequency and Lineament Intersection. All the thematic layers have been extracted from the existing data, KOMPSAT and LANDSAT ETM+ satellite data. For the extraction of thematic layers and analysis ,the ArcGIS 9.3,1 and ERDAS Imagine 9.1 softwares have been used for delineating the groundwater potential zones. The delineated groundwater potential zones have been validated with the open wells in the study area.
