Identification of Artificial recharge zone of the selected watershed using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract
Artificial recharge is the most powerful management tool to assure sustainability of ground water resources. In the present scenario of our world’s burgeoning population which is becoming increasingly difficult, it must rather than a challenge for any country to meet the task of providing sufficient quantity of water to each and every person in the face of the changing consumption patterns, impacts of the climate change and degradation of the finite land and water resources.Artificial groundwater recharge is becoming increasingly necessary as growing population require more water and as more stores is needed to save water in times of surplus for use in time of shortage. The remotely sensed data provides synoptic viewing and repetitive coverage for thematic mapping of natural resources. In the present study land use and land cover, soil, and geomorphological mapping has been carried out in study area.
