In present study, remote sensing techniques both conventional and satellite, are used for collection of the information regarding distribution and quality of groundwater. The main aim of the study is to determine the nature of the distribution, depth and quality of groundwater. A special attention is given to delineate the saline water areas and fresh water pockets in the semiarid area in the parts of Haryana state of India. In present paper, the landscape method alongwith analysis of landforms for hydrological deciphering is applied. The study was carried out in three stages i.e. prefield interpretation, field work and post field work. Aerial photographs, imagery and toposheets were chief tools used in the study. It is found that potable water pockets can easily be located with help of remote sensing techniques. The occurrance, distribution and degree for salinity of groundwater is closely associated with geomorphological processes and landforms of the region. 1 INTRODUCTION Whether for irrigation, power generation, drinking, industry or recreation, water (surface and groundwater) is one of the critical resources and it is a subject matter of hydrology. Remote sensing can be used in variety of ways to help monitoring the quali ty, quantity and geographic distribution of the water. A precise geohydromorphological map gives a good deal of information on the ground- water potential of an area. The purpose of this study is to obtain information from aerial photographs and landsat imagery supple mented with fieldwork on quality, quantity and distribution of groundwater. 2 GEOGRAPHICAL SET-UP OF STUDY AREA The study area is bounded by the latitude 27°35’2" and 28°1 , 10" N. and the longitude 76°58'27 M and 77°24' E. and covers the part of Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttarpradesh states of India. The topography is rugged and undulating with moderate to high hills. There are two main hill ranges in the region which run close and parallel to its west boundary in the north eastern direction. Beside these ranges, there are a few isolated hills sca ttered on the eastern side of Ajabgarh series. There are number of streams which do not meet any major stream or river and disappear beneath the permeable surface of the sandy plain and alluvial plain. The region experiences semiarid climate characterised by extreme climatic conditions during summer and winter months with appreci able range in diurinal temperatures. The rainy season is much shorter in duration; the rains are higher and often irregular. During the greater part of the year, the weather is hot, dry and often dusty. The rains occur in the form of the sudden heavy thunder showers, intersparsed with short spells of fair weather. The essential fea ture of the climate is that potential évapo transpiration from soil and vegetation exceeds the average annual precipitation. As a result of the rainfall deficiency, there is no constant supply of groundwater. In such climatic zone, increasing aridity is marked by a gradual deterioration in the vegetal cover from poor grass land and scrub with some bare patches of rock or soil through a wide variety of semiarid plant community. The annual rainfall in the region varies from 500 mm. to 800 mm. and about 60 to 75% of the annual rainfall occurs during the rainy season. The annual mean temperature varies between 11°C and 35°G. 3 METHOD AND MATERIAL The studies on groundwater resources manage ment are carried out in laboratory by using aerial photographs (black 8. white) on scale 1:50,000, landsat imagery (FCG and band 5,6 and 7). In subsequent phase, the interpre ted data were varified and confirmed in field. In addition, new data was collected by a few observations and checking of the critical sections. The information regarding groundwater condition and quality was colle cted from unpublished official records. The entire photo coverage of the area was exami ned in the laboratory during the post field work and the information was revised in accordance with the field observation, the data collected during the field traverses and the data collected from governmental and non-governmental agencies. The maps and plans were finalized and redrawn. 4 WATER BEARING PROPERTIES In the study area quartzite and quaternary deposits have different water bearing properties. 4.1 Alwar series Rocks of Alwar series of Delhi system include massive, very thickly carbonacious phylite, garnateferous mica schist, schist and stauro- lite schist. Groundwater in these rocks occurs and moves through the joints, fractu res, foliation plane and weathered zones. Well tapping these formations yields discharge ranging from 40 to 80 cubic metres per day.
