APPLICATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN GROUND WATER INVESTIGATIONS IN SOHNA BLOCK,GURGAON DISTRICT, HARYANA (INDIA) B.S. CHAUDHARY*, MANOJ KUMAR', A.K. ROY' AND D.S.

ABSTRACT Remote Sensing Techniques play an important role in terrain evaluation surveys for natural/physical resources inventorying and mapping as remotely sensed data provides synoptic view, multispectral and unbiased information with repetivity for change detection studies. The scope has been further enlarged due to advent of Geographic Information System (GIS) and other computer aided methodologies for Digital Image Processing. The present study, a part of Integrated Mission for Sustainable Development project, sponsored by Department of Space, Government of India, deals with ground water investigations in Sohna block. Various thematic maps were prepared by visual interpretation of satellite data, stereoscopic interpretation of panchromatic B/W Aerial photographs and information extracted from digital image processing of satellite data. These were further supplemented with selected ground checks. These maps were digitized and integrated in IDRISI Geographic Environment to prepare final map showing ground water prospective areas. Paleochannels/ channel remnants were found to be excellent for further ground water exploration. Lower reaches of piedmont fan are recommended for further ground water prospection in a controlled manner whereas valley fills are suitable for dugwells/shallow tubewells. Two paleochannels of greater dimensions probably of Yamuna river have been demarcated first time. The study demonstrate the capability of GIS in ground water studies. Sites of wells are recommended to be located on the extension of lineaments or preferably on their extension. 1. INTRODUCTION Water is one of the most precious natural resources of the earth and it is of utmost importance in every facet of human life. Although water is a more dynamic renewable natural resource, its availability with good quality and proper quantity in appropriate time and space is of significant importance. As a result of population explosion, urbanization and deforestation, there is continuous pressure on this precious gift of nature. Because of over drafting and less recharge, water table is declining at many places, even causing deterioration in quality of water. In view of the above facts, delineation of ground water prospective areas has acquired great importance. Advent of satellite Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) has added a new dimension in the field of ground water investigations. Although ground water investigations through satellite data and aerial photographs is an indirect approach and complex job, but when it is integrated with field data (e.g. thickness of weathered zone, surface fractures, faults, depth to water level, seasonal water level fluctuations, water quality and tubewell discharge) in a GIS environment, one can get a fairly accurate idea about ground water conditions of the area by preparing “Hydromorphogeological (HMG)” maps (Roy 1993 and Jugran 1995). Therefore, demarcation of ground water prospective zones, using Remote Sensing data and GIS is much more precise and effective. Studies related to remote sensing applications in ground water has also been carried out by many resource scientists in India and abroad ( Prakash 1993 and Baz 1996). 2. OBJECTIVES Objectives of the above study are to prepare geological, geomorphological, hydromorphogeological and other related maps to demarcate the ground water prospective areas and to demonstrate use of GIS in ground water studies. 3. STUDY AREA The area under study forms southern part of Haryana state which extents from 28°12' to 28°27 North latitudes and 76°51' to 77°15 East longitudes, Covering an area of 480 sq.kms. The location ofthe area is shown in map -1. It falls in survey of India toposheet Nos. 53H/3, 53H/4 and 53D/15. Geologically, the Sohna valley has been considered as a major zone of tectonic weakness in the Delhi super group of rocks and is expressed as a longitudinal graben valley extending in North-South direction between Sohna and Harchandpur ridges. The greater part of the area is occupied by the alluvial plain with thick aeolian cover at places, of recent to subrecent age. Widely scattered strike ridges of Aravalli mountain chain of Delhi super group are also seen at places. Geomorphologically the area has been divided into low structural hills, pediment, piedmont aeolian plain, sand mounds/dunes, aeolian plain, piedmont fan and alluvial plain. Sohna is famous for its sulphurised hot spring which is of great medicinal value. This sulphurised hot spring owes its origin to deep seated intersection of faults, one along escarpment face in roughly east- west direction near Sohna whereas another in the east of sohna ridge running roughly in north-south direction.
