A Review On Application Of Geospatial Technique In Groundwater Potential Zonation
Abstract
Water Plays A Very Crucial Role In The Development Of A Country. The Surface Water Resources Are Unable To Complete The Need Of Water. The Dependency Of Groundwater Is Too High As Compared To The Surface Water, But Still Proper Explotation Of The Resources Of Groundwater Has Not Yet Been Done. This Study Reveals The Application Of Geospatial Technique And Geographical Information System (GIS) To Delineate Different Groundwater Potential Units. With The Help Of Geospatial Data, Numerous Thematic Layers Can Be Created I.E. Geology, Geomorphology, Slope, Drainage Density, Land Use And Land Cover, Lineament Density Map, Structure. Rainfall Data Can Be Taken From The Meteorological Department. Slope Map Of The Area Can Be Generated Through DEM Of The Area. Using GIS Rank And Weightage Are Given To Carry Out The Groundwater Potential Map Of The Area.
