“…The geomorphology map of the study area was prepared using LISS III satellite image through visual interpretation. Remote sensing provides an opportunity for better observation and analysis of various hydrogeomorphic features following the synoptic, multispectral repetitive coverage of the terrain (Horton 1945;Kumar and Srivastava 1991;Sharma and Jugran 1992). The various landforms delineated in the study area are classified as pediplain moderately weathered, pediplain shallow weathered, pediment-inselberg complex, flood plain, plateau weathered moderate, plateau weathered shallow, pediment, inselberg, alluvial plain, and river/waterbody/sand.…”

The present study demonstrates a GIS-based spatial evaluation of fluoride contamination (FC) in groundwater vis-a-vis geology and geomorphology of the area using analytical hierarchy process and weighted sum method in Palamu district of Jharkhand. The integration and analyses of the various thematic databases along with the field sampled fluoride data proved useful in delineating the FC zones. The FC index ranged between 141 and 707, and was classified into four zones, viz., low, moderate, high, and very high zones of FC. The FC index map showed that a total of 49.75% of the study area lies between high to very high FC zone. The very high FC zone is found in the moderately weathered plateau with granitic terrain, whereas the high and moderately FC zones covering 49.31 and 36.41% of the study area are dominated by plateau weathered shallow, pediment-inselberg complex, pediplain moderately weathered, pediplain shallow weathered, and inselberg which have high fluoride. The lowest FC zone covers an area of 193.27 sq. km (13.84%). The spatial analysis of geology with fluoride showed that groundwater within granitic gneiss exhibits high FC followed by granitoid gneiss and alluvium. Geomorphologically highest FC was recorded in plateau weathered moderate (91.67%) followed by plateau weathered shallow (71.43%), flood plain (41.76%), inselberg (27.27%), and pediment (25%). The spatial analysis of groundwater yield with fluoride showed that regions having good yield exhibit maximum FC thereby accelerating the vulnerability of the population to fluorosis.

“…Remote-sensing studies provide an opportunity for better observation and more systematic analysis of various hydrogeomorphic units, lineaments, features following the synoptic, multispectral repetitive coverage of the terrain (Horton 1945;Kumar and Srivastava 1991;Sharma and Jugran 1992;Chatterjee and Bhattacharya 1995;Tiwari and Rai 1996). A number of hydrogeomorphic units have been identified in this region using IRS LISS III images (Fig.…”

“…Geomorphology of an area is one of the most important features in evaluating the groundwater potential and prospect (Das et al 1997;Kumar et al 2008). Remote-sensing studies provide an opportunity for better observation and more systematic analysis of various hydrogeomorphic units/ landforms/lineaments, features following the synoptic, multispectral repetitive coverage of the terrain (Horton 1945;Kumar and Srivastava 1991;Sharma and Jugran 1992;Chatterjee and Bhattacharya 1995;Tiwari and Rai 1996). The geomorphic evolution of the hard rock terrain is controlled by mainly tectonic-lithologic features and denudational processes.…”

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.
