A unique GI for societal application is the targeting of ground-water in villages and using images and GIS integration to spot those targets and prepare a unique database solution for the rural areas. This has been quite successful and is a major activity in India. Evaluation from almost 20,000 sites in India has shown that when sites are identified using RS and GIS techniques the probability of success rate of striking good-yield source is almost 95% and higher - compared to about 45% when sites are identified just based on conventional methods.
