“…Lineaments represent the zones of faulting and fracturing in the bed rocks resulting in increased secondary porosity and permeability. These factors are hydro-geologically very important as they provide the path ways for ground water movement and enhanced well yields can be expected (Magesh et al 2011;Subba Rao et al 2001). The study area is crisscrossed with numerous lineaments in the north-western part due to rock type and tectonic activity in the past.…”

“…The geological linear features are assumed to be zones of fracture in bed rocks where prospects of more groundwater may be expected [15,16]. Lineaments are normally shown in tonal, texture, relief drainage, vegetation linearity and curvilinearity in satellite data [17].…”

Assessment of groundwater potential zones is extremely important for protection of water quality and management of groundwater systems. Groundwater Potential Zones (GPZ) are demarcated with the help of geospatial techniques. The parameters, considered for identifying the GPZ such as geology, geomorphology, slope, drainage density, lineament density, rainfall, soil and landuse and land cover (LULC) are generated using satellite data and toposheet. Later, they are integrated with each other applying weighted overlay in ArcGIS. Suitable ranks are assigned for each category of these parameters. For various geomorphic units, weight factors are decided based on their capability to store groundwater. This procedure is repeated for all other layers and resultant layers are reclassified. The groundwater potential zones are classified into three categories like Poor, Good and Excellent. The use of aforesaid methodology is demonstrated in a selected study area in Baliguda block of Kandhamal district in Odisha.

“…Likewise, in hilly area residual hill (RH) is a deprived geomorphological unit in respect to GPZ. However, adequate recharge source of groundwater can be expected surrounding the RH, as it acts as surface runoff zone 4 . In a different way, plain or moderately buried plain is shallow depressed low relief area with good drainage networks, where observed moderate infiltration and good recharge by hydrological process 18,19 .…”

“…Lineament density of an area can indirectly reveal the groundwater probable and areas with high lineament density are providing the impression of GPZ 24 . Lineaments can be identified directly on the rock units or from RS data which play a significant role in the occurrence and movement of groundwater in crystalline rocks 4,25,26 . Lineament map for the present study area was prepared from GSDA hydrological report of Satara district and also verified from CartoDEM data ( Figure 5).…”

The geospatial techniques like GIS, RS, cartography, spatial statistics etc. are used to well-organized planning of groundwater resources. In this study, base maps were prepared using digital image processing of RS data, digitization of existing maps in GIS for identification of Groundwater Potential Zones (GPZ). Four thematic layers, viz., geomorphology, drainage density, slope and lineaments were considered for identification of GPZ in the Khatav tahsil study area, Satara distract, Maharashtra. Administrative boundaries of sub circle belong to study area were superimposed over prepared thematic layers to know the circle wise outcome. Spatial data of thematic layers were assigned by ranks according to circle wise weights to their relative importance in groundwater occurrence. Final relative weight of four parameters (7-20) were used for identification of GPZ, like (1) high potential groundwater zone (< 11), (2) moderate potential groundwater zone (11 -18) and (3) low potential groundwater zone (> 18). Obtained results were also confirmed from dug well survey in the study area. The Vaduj and Katar Khatav circles ( 33.18 %) is falling in high potential groundwater zone and Pusegaon and Khatav circle (32.41 %) is belong with low potential groundwater zone.
