Integrated Approach for Analyze of Physiographic Situation in Part of Gondia District (MS).

Abstract

The present work deals with the assessment of geology, geomorphic and groundwater potential zones in parts of Gondia districts of Maharashtra. In the process of assessment of groundwater in the area, different thematic maps on lithology, lineaments, geomorphology and land use/land cover were prepared and assigned with differential weight age values as per their groundwater recharge and storage characteristics.  Major part of the district is underlain by hard rock, where only dugwells are most feasible structures for ground water development. The sites for borewells need to be selected only after proper scientific investigation.
