Abstract. A major concern in groundwater exploration is to determine a precise location of the groundwater resources. The geospatial technology such as UAV mapping, precise GPS surveying and GIS data management could be integrated with other geospatial information to augment the groundwater exploration. The aim of this research project is to support groundwater exploration at UTM, Johor Bahru campus by employing the geospatial approach. In doing so, the aerial photo captured by using UAV and GPS will be utilised to support geology and geophysics data collection. Subsequently, subsurface information such as lithology, stratigraphy and geological structures have been used to form the subsurface profile. Afterward, development of the groundwater geospatial database had commenced by using a GIS approach. It is expected that by integration of geospatial technology in groundwater exploration works will help to identify the location of potential groundwater zone in the study area.
Effective geological information evaluation is essential for accurate site characterization. A major concern in geological mapping is to locate the accurate location of the geological information. The geoinformation approach such as precise GPS surveying and UAV mapping could be integrated with other geospatial information to augment the geological information. This research aims to integrate the geoinformation approach into geological structure mapping. To achieve the overall purpose of the study, the objective identified was the establishment of a high-precision control point by using Precise GPS measurement in the study area. Therefore, the establishment of GPS data observations involves the establishment of primary networks and several GPS controls points within the study area. Subsequently, the GPS positioning has been processed to produce a topographic information map and to support the collection of geological data in the study area. It is hoped that the integration of the geoinformation approach has been provided a significant increase in geological information at the district of Mersing.
