GEO–SPATIAL MODELLING FOR DEMARCATING RECHARGE ZONES USING REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) IN GANGAVALLI BLOCK, SALEM DISTRICT TAMIL NADU

Dr. K. Rajarajan, A. Subburaj

Abstract :

The groundwater scenario in hard rock formation is under great stress due to unbalanced groundwater developments. Due to this, the yield of the bore wells is very low and at many times it is dry. To overcome this issue, the aquifers are recharged through Artificial Recharge structures. The artificial recharge structures are constructed without considering the recharge characteristics of the area. Keeping in view, at attempt has been made to demarcate the zones for artificial recharge in the area using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS). The zones are validated with water level data collected from the well located near to the artificial recharge structures constructed in the area.
