| Abstract | The estimation of groundwater recharge potential has been made possible with GIS tech- nique. However there are many factors that effect the recharge potential of a zone. Thus various thematic maps were prepared for land use/ cover, geology, lineament, slope, stream density were considered and the score were provided according to the characteristics of the study area, to estimate the recharge potential in Northeast, Thailand. The results of this study show how factors effect the total groundwater recharge potential for different categories. The results demonstrated that, in the total area of 25921.65 sqkrn, about 20.83% of the study area is classified as very high potential groundwater recharge. High, medium, low and very low potential groundwater recharge areas cover 36.04%, 30.74%, 10.09%, 2.3%, respectively. The results shows that high groundwater recharge potential zones are mostly present in Nakhon Phanom where as low recharge potential are located in U dom Thani province. |
