Identification of ground water prospecting zones using remote sensing and gis techniques in Chintakommadinne Mandal, YSR District, AP, India

The present study has been carried out on identification of Groundwater prospect zones using remote sensing and GIS. Remote sensing and GIS play a vital role in the spatial and non spatial data analysis. Satellite images give real world information of spatial and temporal variations. In this study integration of various thematic layers (maps) such as Base maps, Geology, Drainage, Lithology, soil, Rainfall, Geomorphology, Land Use Land Cover map, DEM, to generate Hydro-geomorphology map. It is very useful for design makers who are working under groundwater and civil engineering departments and also a common man may be understand where is the good ground water potential zones or not, with simple and neat annotations, colors and symbols. Utilization of water and land is more because of rapid boost in population, urbanization, industrialization so planning for modern land and water conservation and management need for GIS and remote sensing is essential for extreme feature.
