“…Till now, several conventional methods such as geological, hydrogeological, geophysical and photogeological techniques were employed to delineate ground water potential zones (McNeill 1991;Teeuw 1995;Meijerink 1996;Sander et al 1996;Edet and Okereke 1997;Taylor and Howard 2000;Shahid et al 2000;Srivastava and Bhattacharya 2006). A number of workers such as Edet and Okereke (1997), Murthy (2000), Obi Reddy et al (2000), Pratap et al (2000), Singh and Prakash (2002) and Jaiswal et al (2003), Chowdhury et al (2009), Magesh et al (2012 and Nag and Ghosh (2012) and others have used GIS techniques to delineate ground water potential zone.…”

“…The image processing techniques (Gonzales and Wintz 1987;Math et al 1995;Carrere 1990) are among the most used methods for locating and mapping structural lineaments that could represent the surface expression of active faults (Sander et al 1996). The criteria of lineament extraction were based on the identification of linear topographic surface features, such as valleys, ridges, breaks in slope, boundaries of elevated areas aligned in a rectilinear or slightly curvilinear shape and that distinctly differ from the patterns of adjacent features (Ventura and Vilardo 1998;Jordan et al 2005).…”

In this article the implementation and potential of the Seismotectonic Information System of the Campania Region (SISCam) are described, in particular an application of this Web-based GIS system to the seismotectonic analysis of the Sannio area (Southern Apennines) is performed. WEB-GIS technologies greatly contribute to both the environmental monitoring and the disaster management of areas affected by high natural risks. Specifically the SISCam system has been developed with the aim of providing easy access and fast diffusion, through Internet technology, of the most significant geological, geophysical, and territorial data relative to the Campania Region. The Sannio area has been selected as our application example because it is among the most active seismic regions in Italy. This portion of the Southern Apennines which was hit by the June 5, 1688 strong earthquake (M W = 6.7, CPTI 1999) and by some low-and moderate-energy seismic sequences (1990)(1991)(1992) 1997), is characterized by a complex inherited tectonic setting and low-tectonic deformation rates that hide the seismogenic sources position. Since this case study turned out to be complicated, the use of the SIScam WEB-GIS has become indispensable because it allowed us to visualize, integrate and analyze all the data available, in order to obtain an accurate and direct picture of the seismotectonic setting of the area. Moreover, a different approach of data analysis was necessary, due to the lack of up-todate neotectonic and structural data; therefore, the operation of this GIS system enabled us to process and generate some original informative layers, through image analysis, such as new structural lineaments represented on a map of the potential active faults of the area, which has been the final result of our application, as a contribution to new knowledge about the local seismic risk parameters.

“…Several conventional methods such as geological, hydrogeological, geophysical and photogeological techniques are being used to delineate groundwater potential zones (McNeill 1991;Lillesand and Kiefer 1994;Teeuw 1995;Meijerink 1996;Sander et al 1996;Edet et al 1997;Taylor and Howard 2000;Shahid et al 2000;Srivastava and Bhattacharya 2006;Sharma and Kaur 2012;Fashae et al 2013;Selvam et al 2014;Jhariya et al 2016). In recent times, digital techniques come out as a rapid and cost-effective tool, and are being used to integrate different data to decipher groundwater potential zones.…”

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.
