Delineation of Groundwater Potential Zones in Koyna River Watershed, Maharashtra using Remote Sensing and GIS

Abstract Groundwater is considered as only source which provides water for meeting domestic, industrial and agricultural requirement. Continuous uses of without any conservation cause lowering Ground level thus living forms are facing many problems now-a-days. In current situation some existing wells getting dried up because depletion groundwater table the natural recharge not sufficient requirements. As a result, access to resources their demand allows individuals pick favorable locations population increase. world’s grows, so does urbanization exploration. rising metropolitan region, it critical analyze present scenario Koyna River watershed. This study simple do with use remote sensing geographical information systems (GIS) by cost-effectively incorporating factors impacting potential. We will combine numerous data sets maps in this study, including satellite imaging, drainage, level, precipitation, LULC, slope, its geological map. After potential, was divided into five distinct zones: extremely poor, moderate, good, very excellent [1].
