Fallibility of Palaeo-Channels as Groundwater Potential Zones in a Part of Thar Desert
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Integrated analysis of field data indicates that the Thar desert had a longer network of drainage in the past. Saraswati had been one of the major rivers. Aerial photointerpretation has been useful in definite identification of Kantli palaeo-channels in areas adjacent to the Aravalli hills. Signatures of palaeo-channels on space imagery are sometimes misleading as similar reflections are recorded from dunal depressions also and, hence. must not be thought of as indicating groundwater potential zones.
