Proficiency and Protocols of Geomatics in Ground water Exploration

The water resources management has ever remained an issue of major challenge due to the exponential population explosion and the inadequacy of the available surface water resources to cope up to the Man’s growing demands. These triggered manifold explorations to hunt for more water resources, especially the ground water reservoirs and develop plans for managing them. Though many tools and techniques have all along been used, it is only the Geomatics technology, comprising dominantly the Remote Sensing and GIS, has proved its advanced proficiencies in providing newer insights into the issues of water resources. But still there is hierarchy of issues in water resources and we will have to go a long way in capitalising the virtues of Geomatics technology. The paper deals with some of the advanced proficiencies of Geomatics technology and how precisely it can provide solutions in ground water related issues when this technology is used appropriately following the fool proof protocols.
