Groundwater Modeling for Sustainable Management of Water Resources in Drought Prone Area A Case Study of Micro Watersheds 4E3B3k4 and 4E3C2j2

Abstract

Water security has often been at the first priority for every civilization across newlinethe globe. It is so because the emergence, existence and exploration of each newlinecivilization crucially depend upon the availability of water resources. Though there is newlinesufficient amount of water available in distinctive forms to living species, most parts newlineof the globe are facing severe water scarcity due to the lack of water management. newlineEspecially, India has been bestowed with sufficient amount of rainfall with its newlinegeographical and environmental distinction, yet most parts of the country are newlinestruggling from water scarcity. In order to meet the present and futuristic needs of newlinewater supply for increased population, agriculture, rapid industrialization and newlinedomestic utilization an effective measures of water management are needs to be newlineundertaken. Remote Sensing and GIS Technology has emerged as crucial tools for newlineground water research, as it assists us to examine, evaluate the groundwater resources. newlineAdditionally, the same facilitates us to explore groundwater and classify ground newlinefeatures as well. newlineThe present research intends to employ this technology so as to bring forth the newlineconcrete results of the study. Remote Sensing and GIS Technology, as stated before, newlineexplores the presence of groundwater thorough it s accurate and precise study, newlineassessment and collectively offers the scientifically authentic data. Remote Sensing, newlinetherefore, has been considered as the efficient way of investigating groundwater newlineresources at ease. The study of surface features with this technology represents the newlinecondition of surface mapped from the field data by computer generated models. The newlineresearch has generated Contour Maps, Aspect Maps, Curvature Maps, Hill Shade newlineMaps, Shaded Relief Maps, Stream Order Maps and Terrain Roughness Map by the newlinemeans of Arc GIS 10.8 Software for meticulous surface analysis. These topographical newlinesurfaces have enabled us to correlate realistic data to the real world evaluation, by newlinemerging topographical maps the data in question. The same has
