Identification Of Ground Water Potential Zones In Tamil Nadu By Remote Sensin...IJERA Editor
A case study was conducted to find out the groundwater potential zones in Salem, Erode and Namakkal districts, Tamil Nadu, India with an aerial extent of 360.60 km2. The thematic maps such as geology, geomorphology, soil hydrological group, land use / land cover and drainage map were prepared for the study area. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has been generated from the 10 m interval contour lines (which is derived from SOI, Toposheet 1:25000 scale) and obtained the slope (%) of the study area. The groundwater potential zones were obtained by overlaying all the thematic maps in terms of weighted overlay methods using the spatial analysis tool in Arc GIS 9.3. During weighted overlay analysis, the ranking has been given for each individual parameter of each thematic map and weights were assigned according to the influence such as soil −25%, geomorphology − 25%, land use/land cover −25%, slope − 15%, lineament − 5% and drainage / streams − 5% and find out the potential zones in terms of good, moderate and poor zones with the area of 49.70 km2, 261.61 km2 and 46.04 km2 respectively. The potential zone wise study area was overlaid with village boundary map and the village wise groundwater potential zones with three categories such as good, moderate and poor zones were obtained. This GIS based output result was validated by conducting field survey by randomly selecting wells in different villages using GPS instruments. The coordinates of each well location were obtained by GPS and plotted in the GIS platform and it was clearly shown that the well coordinates were exactly seated with the classified zones.
Evaluation of Groundwater Resource Potential using GIS and Remote Sensing App...IJERA Editor
Environment and Development are the two wheels of the cart. However, they become antagonists at some
points. It has been witnessed many a times that development is done at the cost of environment. Analysis and
assessment tools like GIS along with Remote Sensing have proved to be very efficient and effective and hence
useful for management of natural resources. Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. In order to
ensure a judicious use of groundwater, proper evaluation is required. There is an urgent need of planned and
optimal development of water resources. An appropriate strategy is required to develop water resources with
planning based on conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources. Integrated remote sensing and GIS
can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data sets for decision making in
groundwater management and planning. Sustainable water resources development and management necessarily
depends on proper planning, implementation, operation and maintenance. The interpretation of remote sensing
data in conjunction with conventional data and sufficient ground truth information makes it possible to identify
and outline various ground features such as geological structures, geomorphic features and their hydrologic
characters that may serve as direct or indirect indicators of the presence of ground and surface water. Remotely
sensed data provides unbiased information on geology, geomorphology, structural pattern and recharging
conditions, which logically define the groundwater regime of an area. Groundwater resource potential has been
evaluated in Pulivendula-Sanivaripalli, Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using remote sensing and
Geographic information system. Under this study, three thematic maps viz. Geological map (Lithology and
Structure), Geomorphological map and Hydro morphological maps were prepared. These thematic maps have
been integrated with the help of GIS. Appropriate weightage has been assigned to various factors controlling
occurrence of groundwater to assess the groundwater potential in each segment of the study area. The area has
been classified into high potential, moderate potential, low potential and non-potential zones landforms ground
water development on the basis of hydromorphological studies. Some of the favorable locations have been
suggested to impound the excessive run off so as to augment the ground water resources of the area.

Mapping of the Groundwater Potential Zones Using Remote Sensing and Geograph...AzanAlsameey
Water is perhaps the most vital natural resource of any country. Economic activities, including industry and agriculture, require water. The health of the population is dependent upon an adequate and clean water supply. Problems of water supply, both in terms of quality and quantity, are experienced by many countries but felt especially in the developing world, where population pressure is greatest and the infrastructure is less well developed. Water is the most basic component of any urban, industrial or agricultural development project (Moussa 2007).
With the advent of remote sensing and computer technology in the geosciences, geological investigation and interpretation have entered a new era. Remote sensing technology is very efficient for collecting data. Computer technology, such as computerbased geographic information system (GIS), supplies a different method for data storage, integration, analysis, and display. The combination of remote sensing and GIS provides an optimum system for various geological investigations such as groundwater exploration (Chen 2001).

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. SOIL MAPPING:
Soil map is a map i.e. a geographical
representation showing diversity of soil types
and/or soil properties (soil pH, textures, organic
matter, depths of horizons etc.) in the area of
interest.
Soil mapping involves locating and identifying the
different soils that occur, collecting information
about their location, nature, properties and
potential use, and recording this information on
maps and in supporting documents to show the
spatial distribution of every soil.
3. SOIL SURVEY:
Soil survey, soil mapping, is the process of
classifying soil types and other soil properties in a
given area and geo-encoding such information. It
applies the principles of soil science, and draws
heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil
formation, physical geography, and analysis of
vegetation and land use patterns.
Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by
field sampling and by remote sensing. Remote
sensing principally uses aerial photography, but
LiDAR and other digital techniques are steadily
gaining in popularity.
4. DIGITAL SOIL MAPPING:
The creation and the population of a
geographically referenced soil database
generated at a given resolution by using field
and laboratory observation methods coupled
with environmental data through quantitative
relationships.
5. DIGITAL ELEVATION
MODEL(DEM):
A DEM is an electronic model of the Earth’s
surface that can be stored and manipulated in
a computer.
It provides greater functionalities than the
qualitative and nominal characterization of
topography.
A DEM can be manipulated to provide many
kinds of data that can assist the soil surveyor
in mapping and giving a quantitative
description of landforms and of soil
variabilities.
6.

8. HISTORY:
A Study by Hammer et al. (1995) indicated that
slope class maps produced from 10 m DEM
appear to have great potential use for soil survey
and land use planning.
Moore et al. (1992) stated that with information on
geology and surface deposits a DEM could be
used to predict soil types.
Bayramin (2001) tested the use of DEM, satellite
data, digital geological data to improve mapping
efficiency and quality of soil maps and developed
a pre model for soil mapping for countries where
conventional soil surveys have not been
completed yet.
9. Mora-Vallejo et al. (2008) applied digital soil
mapping in a 13,500 km2 study area in South-
eastern Kenya with the main aim to create a
reconnaissance soil map to assess clay and
soil organic carbon contents in terraced maize
fields. Soil spatial variability prediction was
based on environmental correlation using the
concepts of the soil forming factors equation.
10. Thematic mapping has undergone a revolution as
the result of advances in geographic information
science and remote sensing.
For soil mapping archived data is often sufficient
and this is available at low cost.
Green (1992) stated that integration of Remote
Sensing within a GIS database can decrease the
cost, reduce the time and increase the detailed
information gathered for soil survey. Particularly,
the use of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is
important to derive landscape attributes that are
utilized in land forms characterization.
11. USE OF DEM AND LANDSAT
SATELLITE IMAGERY:
The main goal of this research was to use digital
elevation model (DEM) and Landsat imagery for
a detailed soil survey work in a hilly terrain, as an
alternative and improved method for mapping soil
patterns.
A 3D view of the landscape is generated to
visualize the soil and landform relationships.
The final soil map of this study was intended to
analyze agricultural productivity and to prepare
the land capability and irrigation suitability
classification maps of the studied area.
12. The slope classes map from 10 m DEM overlie
Landsat images can easily be used for soil
survey with extensive ground truth where there
are proven close relationships between soils
and topography and soils are situated hilly
terrain.
3D view with slope classes boundaries
overlaid Landsat images and shaded relief
map as a colour map, can be used to define
physiographic units, to select possible site of
soil profile pits and to distinguish distribution of
the soils.
13. ADVANTAGES:
It provides synoptic coverage, in that it covers
a vast extent of territory in one block, thereby
giving an undistorted view of large natural
units, according to a known and homogeneous
geometrical pattern.
It is possible to observe the transformations
affecting soils (erosion, farming systems), and
permits timely monitoring and assessement of
the modifications in soil boundaries.
14. The soil survey efficiency can be increased by
using large scaled geological map, high
resolution satellite data or black and white
aerial photo graphs and others. It further
showed that digital terrain analysis plays a
strong role in digital soil mapping and provides
a high level of topographic detail.
15. Depending on the different soil classes, soil
survey
works become more important spontaneously.
The results proved that using RS andGIS
technologies and integrating DEM, satellite
data and ancillary data are very powerful tool
for soil survey and the GIS based softwares
are user friendly and can easily be support
necessary procedures for soil survey and
mapping works.
