Abstract

Present study has to be taken to understand the challenges like improper exploitation of groundwater, improper maintenance of water resources and failure of government schemes for rural areas may lead to groundwater and irrigation. The advantage of GIS and remote sensing of spatial, spectral and manipulation of earth surface and subsurface data cover with a short time having a great groundwater potential for accessing, processing and monitoring the groundwater resources. Artificial recharge can be used to manage groundwater resources in a sustainable manner. The goal of present study is to formulate a methodology to delineate the zones favorable for artificial recharge and to recommend sites where artificial recharge structures can be constructed in critical sub-watershed of Kotani watershed of Chhattisgarh for India. In this study remote sensing and GIS technique have been used. Major parameters influencing groundwater recharge viz. land use/land cover data, slope, drainage density, g
