“…All the themes were integrated using "Spatial Analyst Module" of TNT mips pro 2012. Each theme and its individual class were assigned weight and rank (Table 1) based on the existing literature (Saraf and Choudhary 1998;Rao and Jugran 2003;Prasad et al 2008;Jha et al 2010;Machiwal et al 2011;Mukherjee et al 2012;Singh et al 2013). Individual themes have been assigned weights (Wt) and based on the knowledge upon their significance to groundwater, dif- Fig.…”

Demand of groundwater resources has increased manifold with population expansion as well as with the advent of modern civilization. Assessment, planning and management of groundwater resource are becoming crucial and extremely urgent in recent time. The study area belongs to Kashipur block, Purulia district, West Bengal. The area is characterized with dry climate and hard rock terrain. The objective of this study is to delineate groundwater potential zone for the assessment of groundwater availability using remote sensing, GIS and MCA techniques. Different thematic layers such as hydrogeomorphology, slope and lineament density maps have been transformed to raster data in TNT mips pro2012. To assign weights and ranks to different input factor maps, multi-influencing factor (MIF) technique has been used. The weights assigned to each factor have been computed statistically. Weighted index overlay modeling technique was used to develop a groundwater potential zone map with three weighted and scored parameters. Finally, the study area has been categorized into four distinct groundwater potential zones-excellent 1.5% (6.45 sq. km), good 53% (227.9 sq. km), moderate 45% (193.5 sq. km.) and poor ~ 0.5% (2.15 sq. km). The outcome of the present study will help local authorities, researchers, decision makers and planners in formulating proper planning and management of groundwater resources in different hydrogeological situations.

“…As remote sensors cannot detect groundwater directly, its presence is inferred from different surface features derived from satellite imagery such as geology, landforms, soils, land use/ land cover, surface water bodies, etc., which act as indicators of groundwater existence (Todd, 1980 andPeiffer, 2006). RS and GIS have proved to be main tools to prepare those thematic maps from satellite images and it is also used as a multi-criteria decision analysis tool (Vittala et al, 2005;Madrucci et al, 2008;Mondal et al, 2008;Javed and Wani, 2009;Jha et al, 2010 andDar et al, 2010).…”

“…While groundwater can be measured reliably in the field using piezometers and shallow monitoring wells [8,9], these point-based techniques are difficult to scale due to the cost of instruments and installations [10,11]. In addition, the repeated measurements needed to monitor groundwater dynamics are often constrained by access to field personnel.…”

A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

et al. 2017

Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers working in these ecosystems. While well-established field techniques exist for measuring GWL and DTW, they are generally difficult to scale. In this study, we present a novel workflow for mapping groundwater using orthophotography and photogrammetric point clouds acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that pockets of surface water are normally abundant in peatlands, which we assume to be reflective of GWL in these porous, gently sloping environments. By first classifying surface water and then extracting a sample of water elevations, we can generate continuous models of GWL through interpolation. Estimates of DTW can then be obtained through additional efforts to characterize terrain. We demonstrate our methodology across a complex, 61-ha treed bog in northern Alberta, Canada. An independent accuracy assessment using 31 temporally coincident water-well measurements revealed accuracies (root mean square error) in the 20-cm range, though errors were concentrated in small upland pockets in the study area, and areas of dense tree covers. Model estimates in the open peatland areas were considerably better.
