“…Geomorphology of an area is one of the most important features in evaluating the groundwater potential and prospect (Das et al 1997;Kumar et al 2008). Remote-sensing studies provide an opportunity for better observation and more systematic analysis of various hydrogeomorphic units/ landforms/lineaments, features following the synoptic, multispectral repetitive coverage of the terrain (Horton 1945;Kumar and Srivastava 1991;Sharma and Jugran 1992;Chatterjee and Bhattacharya 1995;Tiwari and Rai 1996). The geomorphic evolution of the hard rock terrain is controlled by mainly tectonic-lithologic features and denudational processes.…”

Demand of groundwater resources has increased manifold with population expansion as well as with the advent of modern civilization. Assessment, planning and management of groundwater resource are becoming crucial and extremely urgent in recent time. The study area belongs to Kashipur block, Purulia district, West Bengal. The area is characterized with dry climate and hard rock terrain. The objective of this study is to delineate groundwater potential zone for the assessment of groundwater availability using remote sensing, GIS and MCA techniques. Different thematic layers such as hydrogeomorphology, slope and lineament density maps have been transformed to raster data in TNT mips pro2012. To assign weights and ranks to different input factor maps, multi-influencing factor (MIF) technique has been used. The weights assigned to each factor have been computed statistically. Weighted index overlay modeling technique was used to develop a groundwater potential zone map with three weighted and scored parameters. Finally, the study area has been categorized into four distinct groundwater potential zones-excellent 1.5% (6.45 sq. km), good 53% (227.9 sq. km), moderate 45% (193.5 sq. km.) and poor ~ 0.5% (2.15 sq. km). The outcome of the present study will help local authorities, researchers, decision makers and planners in formulating proper planning and management of groundwater resources in different hydrogeological situations.

“…Ramasamy et al (1989) explained the appropriate methodology for groundwater exploration using the remote sensing technique. Using Landsat-MSS images, different hydromorphological units were derived for groundwater prospecting (Tiwari and Rai, 1996). The geomorphic units of the area have been mainly derived from three origins, namely denudational, alluvial and marine.…”

Abstract:Aquifers are inherently susceptible to contamination and coastal aquifers in specific are highly vulnerable to sea water intrusion. For efficient planning and management of coastal aquifers in Kayalpattu and Tiruchopuram villages, which extend over 4Ð05 km 2 , it is essential to delineate and predict the extent of intrusion into the shallow aquifer. Management of ground water in coastal aquifers is composed of major elements that should be properly evaluated, and special attention is given to the sea water intrusion problem. Different data, like hydro-geomorphological and depth-wise iso-apparent resistivity, are integrated spatially using a geographical information system. The stack-unit mapping approach is used to delineate the zones with iso-apparent resistivity of less than 10 m have been found to be increasing in areal extent with reference to depth.

“…For delineating groundwater potential/prospective zones Geographical information system (GIS) has been found to be an effective tool. In recent years, extensive use of satellite remote sensing data along with Survey of India topographical maps, collateral information and limited field checks, has made it easier to establish the base line information for groundwater prospective zones (Singh et al, 1993;Chi and Lee, 1994;Haridass et al, 1994;Tiwari and Rai, 1996;Das et al, 1997;Ravindran and Jeyaram, 1997;Pratap et al, 1997;Pal et al, 1997;Pradeep, 1998;Subba Rao and Prathap Reddy, 1999;Thomas et al, 1999;Harinarayana et al, 2000;Muralidhar et al, 2000;Obi Reddy et al, 2000). The occurrence and movement of groundwater in an area is governed by several factors such as topography, lithology, geological structure, depth of weathering, extent of fractures, slope, drainage pattern, land use and land cover, climatic conditions and inter relationships between these factors (Pratap et al, 2000).…”

In the present study, potential zones for artificial recharge in Agniar-AmbuliarSouthvellar river basins in Tamilnadu, India have been delineated through integration of various thematic maps using Arc view GIS. The study area, covers an area of 4566 km 2. Thematic maps pertaining to geology, permeability, effective soil depth, drainage intensity, soil texture, water holding capacity and physiography were prepared on 1:2,50,000 scale using conventional methods. These maps were scanned and registered with reference to a base map and are prepared as separate layers or coverages using Arc view. GIS has been used for the integration of various thematic maps to delineate the potential zones for artificial recharge. Each theme was assigned a weightage depending on its influence on groundwater recharge. Each class or unit in the map was assigned a knowledge based ranking from one to four depending on its significance in storage and transmittance of groundwater. The final map has been prepared showing four different categories of potential zones for artificial recharge.
