“…The interpretation of satellite data in conjunction with sufficient real ground information makes it possible to identify and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydraulic characters which may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of groundwater (Das et al, 1997;Rao et al, 2000;Ravindran and Jeyaram, 1997;Devi et al, 2001;Gopinath and Saralathan, 2004). Satellite data provides quick and useful baseline information on parameters like geology, geomorphology, land use/land cover, lineaments.…”

Groundwater is a dynamic and replenishable natural resource. But in hard rock terrains, its availability is of limited extent. In sub-watershed studies, remote sensing and GIS techniques have the advantages of spatial, spectral and temporal data, covering large and inaccessible areas within a short span of time. Thus this technique has become a very handy tool in assessing and monitoring groundwater resources. Multi Criteria Evaluation Technique (MCE) by integration of the thematic maps such as Geomorphology, Geology, Land use/Land cover and Slope prepared from conventional and remote sensing techniques using GIS yield more and near accurate result. The groundwater potential zones are classified in to five zones viz, 'excellent to very good', 'very good to good', 'good to moderate', 'moderate to poor' and 'poor to very poor'. Critical analysis and comparison of ground water potential zones of both sub-watersheds reveals that, 26.10 km 2

Present study deals with the demarcation of palaeochannels and mapping of integrated water resources in parts of Hisar district, Haryana using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS-1D) LISS-III Data of December 21, 2001. The landforms identified are Sand Dune, Dune Complex, Aeolian Plain, Fluvioaeolian plain, Palaeochannel and Younger Alluvial Plain formed by aeolian, fluvio-aeolian, and fluvial processes. These palaeochannels are first time demarcated in the area. The ground water prospects of various geomorphic units have been assessed.Depth to water level and ground water quality maps were digitized and put in to GIS format. Ground water prospects and quality maps were integrated and depth to water level information was draped on it to prepare final integrated ground water resources map. This map depicts ground water prospects, quality and depth together in a single map, which will help in and ground water exploration.

“…Groundwater occurrence being subsurface phenomenon, its identification and location is based on indirect analysis of some directly observable terrain features. The interpretation of satellite data in conjunction with sufficient ground real information makes it possible to identify and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydraulic characters (Das et al 1997;Srinivas Rao et al 2000); and these may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of groundwater (Ravindran and Jeyaram 1997;Sree Devi et al 2001;Gopinath and Saralathan 2004).…”

The importance of groundwater is growing based on an increase in need and decrease in the availability of fresh surface water sources and adequate rainfall. Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) has become one of the leading tools in the field of hydrogeological science, which helps in assessing, monitoring and conserving groundwater resources. This paper describes the results of a groundwater potentiality and quality assessment conducted in Koduvan Ár sub-watershed of Meenachil river basin, Kottayam district of Kerala state, in the Republic of India. Shallow groundwater is the main source of drinking water in urban and rural areas, but reliable spatial data on its potentiality and quality are currently insufficient for developing the water-supply systems with standard designs. The methodology used in the present study includes an integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS for the construction of groundwater potentiality map and the assessment of water quality of identified wells. Different spatial data layers such as, geomorphology, lithology, slope and land use/ land cover are generated and the interrelationship between these layers were analyzed to identify and assess the groundwater potentiality of the area. The final result depicts the favourable prospective zones in the study area with its quality parameters and can be helpful to formulate recommendations to reduce the water scarcity and quality risks for public health.
