Gis Enabled Study of Artificial Recharge Structures

Abstract

Gis Enabled Study Of Artificial Recharge Structures The importance of water is felt in all sectors as the demand and needs of the populace is growing. The remotely sensed data provides synoptic viewing and repetitive coverage for thematic mapping of natural resources.

In the present study hydrogeomorphological, soil, lineament and geomorphological mapping has been carried out in PT-7 watershed in Akola District, Maharashtra , The area is demarcated from the survey of India Topographical maps were used, it covers an area about 93.66sq.km. In this paper LISS III Satellite Image data in conjunction with Survey of India Toposheet (1:50000 scale) and field inputs data were used for thematic mapping

Conclusion

Groundwater is a precious resource of finite extent. Over the years, increasing population, urbanization and expansion in agriculture has lead to the unscientific exploitation of groundwater creating a water stress condition. This alarming situation calls for a cost and time-effective technique for proper evaluation of groundwater resources and management planning.
