Hydro-Geomorphological Study of Watershed Using RS and GIS Approach

Groundwater is indisputably an important resource contributing 40% of total annual supply. However, over-exploitation has depleted groundwater availability considerably and also led to land subsidence at some places. Assessing the potential zone of groundwater recharge is extremely important for the protection of water quality and the management of groundwater systems.The study is taken up to study the role of geo-informatics technology in the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the watershed program on the ecological and drainage system which in turn led to changes in the environment.
