“…It is a measure of how a watershed is drained by stream channels. DD is influenced by numerous factors, including resistance to erosion, infiltration capacity, vegetation cover, surface roughness and runoff intensity index and climatic conditions [16,18,19]. Areas with high drainage density have less recharge rate, whereas low drainage density areas have a high recharge rate and can directly influence the groundwater recharge.…”

“…Groundwater recharge is affected by human activities and natural possesses on the ground surface and within the aquifer system. Many factors affect the occurrence and movement of groundwater in a region, including rainfall, lineament density, slope, drainage density, land use/land cover, lithology, geomorphology and soil types [12,14,[16][17][18][19].…”

Mapping groundwater recharge zones (GWRZs) is essential for planning artificial recharge programs to mitigate groundwater decline and saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers. We applied two multi-criteria decision-making approaches, namely the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the multi-influencing factors (MIF), to map GWRZs in the Korba aquifer in northeastern Tunisia. GWRZ results from the AHP indicate that the majority (69%) of the area can be classified as very good and good for groundwater recharge. The MIF results suggest larger (80.7%) very good and good GWRZs. The GWRZ maps improve groundwater balance calculations by providing estimates of recharge-precipitation ratios to quantify percolation. Lithology, land use/cover and slope were the most sensitive parameters followed by geomorphology, lineament density, rainfall, drainage density and soil type. The AHP approach produced relatively more accurate results than the MIF technique based on correlation of the obtained GWRZs with groundwater well discharge data from 20 wells across the study area. The accuracy of the approaches ultimately depends on the classification criteria, mean rating score and weights assigned to the thematic layers. Nonetheless, the GWRZ maps suggest that there is ample opportunity to implement aquifer recharge programs to reduce groundwater stress in the Korba aquifer.

“…Infiltration number is a decisive morphometrical indicator, which can provide further information concerning the response of drainage basins to percolation and runoff processes (Mishra et al 2019). infiltration number is the collective product of drainage density (Dd) and stream frequency (Fs) (Faniran 1968).…”

Morphometric parameters are usually prerequisites for the assessment of hydrological facets of a basin. Quantitative evaluation of a drainage basin further helps in the micro-level study of its physiographic characteristics. In this study, an attempt has been made to determine the detailed aspects of morphometric characteristics of the Madhyamaheshwar River basin, a watershed of the Mandakini River that constitutes a part of the Alaknanda River. There are a large number of drainage systems which have their source in the Himalaya. This study was performed using the hydrology tool in geographic information system (GIS) environment. Evaluation of linear, aerial, and relief morphometric parameters was achieved through digital delineation and drainage analysis to provide hydrological insights. A detailed morphometric analysis obtained in this study enlightens distinctive morphometric settings of stream within the drainage system like stream behaviour, the interrelation between connected streams, system's inputs and outputs of matter, and energy. The geometric structure of the basin is ideal for flood velocity assessment backing significantly to stream energy and erosive patterns. Such geometric forms are ideal for increasing flood velocities, which contribute greatly to the available stream energy, and erosion and transportation capacities. Features such as hydrogeology have been evaluated to anticipate the drainage characteristics of the river. This study is also vital regarding the understandings of the subsurface lithology of the basin and sustainable management of the river resources.

“…Nevertheless, the advancement in geospatial technology such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mapping, precise Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying and Geographical Information System (GIS) data management could be utilized to augment the groundwater exploration (Savita et al, 2018;Pandey et. al, 2015;Mishra et al, 2019;Nair et al, 2019;Nag et al, 2019;Thakur et al, 2018). Moreover, the applications of geospatial technology such as GIS can reduce cost and time in order to assess and manage geospatial information of groundwater resources (Adiat et al, 2012).…”

Abstract. A major concern in groundwater exploration is to determine a precise location of the groundwater resources. The geospatial technology such as UAV mapping, precise GPS surveying and GIS data management could be integrated with other geospatial information to augment the groundwater exploration. The aim of this research project is to support groundwater exploration at UTM, Johor Bahru campus by employing the geospatial approach. In doing so, the aerial photo captured by using UAV and GPS will be utilised to support geology and geophysics data collection. Subsequently, subsurface information such as lithology, stratigraphy and geological structures have been used to form the subsurface profile. Afterward, development of the groundwater geospatial database had commenced by using a GIS approach. It is expected that by integration of geospatial technology in groundwater exploration works will help to identify the location of potential groundwater zone in the study area.
