Contribution of Spatial Maps in Groundwater Potential Zones using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System

Abstract

Now a days, surface water resources are becoming insufficient to fulfil the water demand because utility enhanced as compare to availability. Therefore a systematic planning of groundwater improvement using modern technique is essential for the proper management and utilization of this valuable resource. Total annual supply will basically completed by major source that is groundwater. The manifesto of this paper is to identify the contribution of spatial map and their methodologies applied for acquiring groundwater potential zones of study area using remote sensing and GIS. The parameters that are used here for identifying their importance in controlling groundwater potential zones slope, drainage density, lineament density, geology, geomorphology, soil texture, land use land cover and rainfall. Vital importance of groundwater potential was to identification of appropriate locations for extraction of water. The remote sensing and GIS tool have a significant tool for land and water resource studies. The result demonstrated that integration of remote sensing and GIS tool with the detail information about the themes and their effect on the groundwater will assess the groundwater potential of study area.
