| Abstract | Groundwater is a precious resource of limited extent. A groundwater investigation needs a large volume of multidisciplinary data from various sources. Integrated Remote Sensing and GIS can provide the appropriate platform for convergent analysis of diverse data-sets for decision making in groundwater exploration. In the present study, an integrated Remote Sensing and GIS based methodology is developed and tested for the evaluation of groundwater resources of a district in Central Myanrnar. Lansat TM data along with other data sets e.g. existing maps and field observation data are utilized to extract information on the hydrogeomorphic features of the study terrain. This study is an attempt to evolve an integrated approach to groundwater exploration using Remote Sensing data one hand and the geological, geomorphological and basement topographic data on the other. There are two components of the study; demarcation of groundwater potential zones, and identification of recharge zones. All the information layers are integrated through GIS analysis, and the criteria for groundwater prospective zones mapping and recharge site selection are defined. Weighted index overlay method is followed to delineate groundwater prospective zones and a combination of weighted index overlay and Boolean logic method are used for the selection of recharge sites |
