Identification of ground water potential zones using GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques: A case study of Mysore taluk-Karnataka

The current study conducted to analysis the ground water potential zones in Mysore Taluk. The study is based on the secondary data, which is collected from concern department and through internet. Totally nine parameters have been consider for the study such as drainage density, elevation, geology, geomorphology, land use and land cover, lineaments, dykes, rainfall pattern, slope gradient and soil texture. The selected parameters have been prepared and classified in GIS environment, then weightage for each parameters and its classes have been assigned using Analytical Hierarchical Process, then weighted overlay analysis in ArcGIS used to find out the result. The result of study has been compared with the collected sample data to assess the accuracy of result. The comparison of study's result and the collected sample data has given 95 per cent accuracy.
