Groundwater potential zones of Kunigal taluk, Tumkur district, Karnataka State, India, by GIS techniques

The groundwater sources is investigated in Kunigal Taluk and represented in this paper. To do so, the research area's prospective groundwater zones were located using remote sensing and a Geographic Information System. To produce the groundwater potential zones, many maps (e.g., base, hydrogeomorphological, geology, drainage, slope, land use/land cover, lineaments, and soil map) are employed in Kunigal Taluk, groundwater has a key role in changing consumption patterns as well as unequal rainfall. The precise information Geology, slope, drainage density, geomorphic units, and lineament density are all considered when determining the groundwater potential zone using Remote Sensing and GIS. In Arc GIS version 9.2, it is then combined with a weighted overlay. For each of these parameters, appropriate ranks have been assigned in the analysis found that area 208.51sqkm found excellent water potential and 55.09sqkm poor water potential, over all 21% water potential available out of 981.55 sqkm.
