Groundwater Prospect Variability Analysis with Spatio-Temporal Changes in Ranchi City, Jharkhand, India Using Geospatial Technology
Groundwater reflects the major percentage of the world’s freshwater resources, for a human being it is a dynamic natural resource to fulfill their day to day life requirements. Groundwater is essential for human being along with animals, trees, aquatic living organism etc. Due to urbanization, industrialization, mining, irrigation, domestic demands and so on, the demand of water is hugely increasing. In present stage water resources are depleting drastically on account of access exploitation, mismanagement etc. so its conservation and management are significant. Using Geospatial technology, this study has demonstrated the variability in groundwater prospects with respect to spatio-temporal changes in Ranchi city and its nearby area, Jharkhand, India, based on thematic maps of LU/LC, drainage, lineament, slope, and aspect. The groundwater potential has been categorized in four categories viz., very poor, poor, moderate and very good. The Geospatial technology is the modern, innovative and dynamic technique used for M-3 movement that is monitoring, mapping and management of various environmental issues with its specific capability. The high-resolution remote sensing data of years 1998, 2004, 2010 and 2016 have been used for various modeling and mapping along with the GIS environment to assess the groundwater prospect variability with LU/LC changes.
