Abstract
Geologically, the study area is mainly constituted by the rocks of Paleoproterozoic age in the central part, the northern part is covered by Archean, Paleoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic, Paleoproterozoic with some patches of Late Permian-Early Triassic and Quaternary age while the southern part is covered by Archean age. Geomorphologically study area covered by denudational hills and plateau on northern to eastern part, pediment and pediplain on central part, alluvial plain western part. The bifurcation ratio ranges from 3 to 5.45. Lower Rb values are the characteristics of structurally less disturbed basins without any distortion in drainage pattern. A low drainage density is more likely to occur highly resistant region of highly permeable subsoil material under dense vegetative cover and where relief is low. The study area further divided into four Sub-watersheds: SW-1, SW-2, SW-3 and SW-4. The comprehensive use of GIS resulted in the development of an efficient and effective methodology of spatial data management and manipulation. The integration and analyses of various thematic maps and image data proved useful for the delineation of zones of groundwater potential. This present study has helped in understanding the geomorphological characteristics of the study area with proper understanding of the landforms and their role in water resource management. Over all this study will help in improving the hydrogeological conditions of the area for the sustainable development of the region.
