Problem solving role of disciplines demands a focus on Natural Resource management, which in itself is amultidisciplinary effort. Remote Sensing and GIS technologies provide immense potential in natural resource management. But Natural Resource Management within the ambit of Geography is not only concerned with “where” but also with “why”. This why poses difficulty in quantification because “why” is inherent qualitative.

With a focus on water resource management this study gives an insight into the potentials and problems of integration of social aspect with the spatial aspect.
