Groundwater can be Abstract:Groundwater is one of earth’s most vital renewable optimally and widely distributed resources as well as an important used and sustained only when the quantity and quality source of water supply throughout the world. The quality of is properly assessed (Kharad et al., 1999). GIS has water is a vital concern for mankind since it is directly linked with human welfare. An attempt has been made to delineate been used in the map classification of groundwater hydrogeomorphic units from IRS P6 LISS III satellite imagery quality, based on correlating total dissolved solids (TDS) values using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The ground water with some aquifer characteristics (Butler et al., 2002) or landuse samples are collected from the forty eight observation wells in and landcover (Asadi et al., 2007). Other studies have used GIS the study area for quality studies during May 2012 and as a database system in order to prepare maps of water quality locations are identified with GPS.
