Abstract:
The water was occurring below the saturated zone in the subsurface (beneath the ground) is generally defined as groundwater. Groundwater is a vital natural resource that contributes to human health, economic development, and ecological diversity. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increased agricultural production have contributed to global freshwater scarcity. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques allow for quick and cost-effective natural resource surveys and management. Remote sensing data aids in the fairly accurate hydro geomorphological analysis as well as the identification and delineation of land features. Additionally, remotely sensed data is an important tool in groundwater prospecting. The present research study is on the Birahalla watershed in Thirthahalli Taluk of Shimoga district of Karnataka state. The study area’s base map is created using SOI Toposheets and LISS III satellite images. Various thematic maps, such as slope maps and drainage network maps, were created using ArcGIS 10.1 software. Land use/land cover maps, geomorphology maps, soil maps, lithology maps, and other maps were created. The weighted overlay analysis method is used to integrate and prepare these thematic maps for the groundwater potential zonation map of the area. They are classified as very high, high, moderate, low, and very low. The groundwater potential zonation map provides local authorities, planners, and citizens with firsthand information about the location of wells/tube wells.
