“…[25][26][27] In general, lineaments are considered as good potential zones for groundwater targeting, as they reflect high porosity and hydraulic conductivity of the underlying materials. [14,28,29] Most of the lineaments are confined to the locations where Pediplain, Deep Pediment and Colluvial Plain are exposed. The lineaments trending NNE-SSW, NE-SW, NW-SE and NS are identified in the study area indicating regions of good groundwater availability (Fig.…”

The main objective of the study is to identify groundwater potential zones in Thirumanimuttar basin with an integrated approach using Remote Sensing and geographical information system (GIS). FCC Image of Landsat TM 30 m resolution data and topographic maps has been used to generate thematic maps like geology, geomorphology, lineament and lineament density, drainage, drainage density, and slope map of the study area. A number of geomorphic units such as Denudational hills, structural hills, Bajadas, Colluvial plain, Pediplain, Deep Pediment and Alluvial plains have been observed. A composite groundwater potential map has been generated as very high, high, medium, low and very low based on the groundwater availability area. The upper, middle and downstream of the basins have been identified as potential zones for groundwater exploration. The regions of lineaments and intersecting lineaments proved for groundwater potential zones. The data generated was validated with field checks and observed to be in conformity with the same.

“…Geophysical methods can provide a better estimate of the depth and thickness of the aquifer system. Integration of surface hydrogeological features with subsurface information obtained from the geophysical survey provides reliable groundwater potential zones (Edet and Okereke 1997, Subba Rao and Prathap Reddy 1999, Shahid and Nath 2002. Oseji et al (2005) have conducted a geophysical resistivity survey and integrated with borehole litholog data for aquifer characterization and groundwater potential mapping.…”

Groundwater potential in a basin is controlled by the amount of precipitation, nature of infiltration, lithology, geomorphology, soil and structure. Sustainable groundwater potential mapping emphasizes not only location of the potential groundwater zones, but also the optimum utilization of resources without affecting the aquifer systems. The Uppar Odai sub-basin in the Amaravati River basin, located in southern India, was selected for sustainable groundwater potential mapping through geoinformatics. In the present case, geomorphology, subsurface layer information derived from electrical resistivity data and lineaments were integrated for sustainable groundwater potential mapping. The structure contours indicate apparent resistivity zones at different depth configurations. The data were analysed at different depth perceptions of 25, 50, 75 and 100 m depth below ground level (b.g.l.). In order to assess the overall configuration of aquifer zones, profiles were plotted across the sub-basin in different directions. The geomorphology and lineaments interpreted from IRS P6 LISS III satellite data were integrated with resistivity data for the generation of a sustainable groundwater potential map. Ranking and weight were assigned for all thematic layers based on their importance in controlling the occurrence of groundwater. The spatial integration was carried out using ArcGIS 9.3 software. The integrated map shows three different potential zones as highly favourable, moderately favourable and least favourable groundwater potential zones. The results obtained through the GIS spatial integration are validated with water level data. Based on the present groundwater draft in the sub-basin, a sustainable groundwater plan is suggested.
