Abstract:

This research article is for indicating ground water prospect zone deals with the preparation of Integrated Ground Water Resource. Water availability for development of the area is the central issue in drought prone areas. The resultant increase in the productivity can upgrade the quality of life of people. Water and vegetation in a land unit for providing an answer to lighten drought, moderate floods, prevent soil erosion, improve water availability and increase crop, fodder, fuel and fibre production on a sustained basis. Over this period, Jhabua witnessed some severe droughts prone area. The processes of deforestation and land degradation have caused broad range of disorganization of water management systems. The recurrence of drought increased significantly and except collective measures are initiated on a permanent basis the situation will become severe in future. The area is selected to demonstrate the capability of high resolution satellite data in Hydrogeomorphological mapping at tehsil level. This study area is located in Survey of India toposheet Nos. 46J/5, 46J/6 46J/9, and 46J/10. Jhabua tehsil with area of about 1028 sq.km is lies between 220 45'35.88'' North latitude and 740 35’10.06’’ East longitudes. Hydrogeomorphological mapping was carried out on 1:50,000 scale using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS-1) of LISS-III with 23.5 m spatial resolution satellite data. The land form of this district is created by structural and denudational origins. The main hydrogeomorphic units mapped are alluvial plain, alluvial plain with sand cover, valley fills intermountain valley/basin, structural hills, residual hills, buried pediments, linear ridges along with lineaments. Each geomorphic unit is assessed for probable ground water potentiality. The prepared hydrogeomorphological map has been digitized in Arc map in GIS environment. This will result in significant saving of time and cost.
