Gis – For Rain Water Recharge to Enhance the Ground Water

Abstract

Gis – For Rain Water Recharge To Enhance The Ground Water civil project report The Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP) of India, as a whole, faces a severe shortage of water despite receiving a high annual rainfall, this is primarily due to excess runoff and lack of water conservation practices.

In this study, an attempt is made to identify zones favourable for the application and adaptation of site-specific artificial-recharge techniques for augmentation of groundwater through a Geographical Information System (GIS) based hydrogeomorphic approach in the Bhatsa and Kalu river basins of Thane district, in western DVP. The criteria adopted for the GIS analysis were based on the hydrogeomorphological characteristics of both basins extracted from the IRS1C LISS-III data supported by information on drainage pattern, DEM derived slope, lineament density, drainage density, and groundwater condition

Conclusion

Gis – For Rain Water Recharge To Enhance The Ground Water civil project report The main objective of this study was mapping the potential groundwater recharge zones in the southern part of JV. In order to achieve this goal, GIS was used to investigate the groundwater recharge potential in the southern Jordan Valley using various spatial and non-spatial data sets such as DEM, slope, land use/cover, geology, geomorphology, runoff, well density, EC, and depth to water table.
