Abstract

The rapid growth of population and agricultural and industrial activities has caused an increase in demand of ground water. In fact, the over-pumping of this aquifer system has resulted in water-level declines during the past three decades. The explosive growth and uneven distribution of population, poor irrigation practices, rapid urbanization/industrialization, large-scale deforestation and improper land use practices have induced the depletion and pollution of both the surface and groundwater resources in India. In addition, recurrent drought further aggravates the problem of water even for drinking, especially in rural areas. The aim of this study is to identify favourable artificial recharge sites of this aquifer system based on the combined use of remotely sensed data, a geographic information system (GIS). The present study attempts to Identify the potential recharge zones and locations for artificial recharge structures in Upper Godavari Sub-basin. The input data for this analysis are different layers like geology, geomorphology, soil, rainfall, land use-land cover, soil lineament density and drainage density. The result depicted the groundwater potential zones into four categories, viz., good, moderate, low and poor That and can be used for better planning and management of groundwater resources. Various groundwater recharge Structures like boulder dams, check dams, percolation tanks, recharge pits etc., were suggested in appropriate locations of Upper Godavari sub basin according to the derived results.
