Abstract

Geologic and geomorphologic investigation of Cauavery River basin in Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu, India using spatial technology

Author(s): J. Punithavathi, S. Tamilenthi and R. Baskaran

The present study area (Cauvery river basin) lies between. 78o 45’ 50’’ E to 79o 35’ 55’’ E longititude and Latitude 10o 10’ 0’’ N to 11o 10’ 6’’ N. The basin area is demarcated from the survey of Indian topographical maps and cover and area about 3397 s.qkm. The present study is a representative case of exploitation of ground water resources, leading to the continuous exhaustion of the grained as well as the groundwater aquifers. The application of the increasingly and internationally accepted method of artificial recharge on the ground water aquifer was decided to be the most effective for the restoration of the balance of the hydrological system. The details of Hydrological conditions of the area is necessary for the success of the method, whose planning has to be made based on the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development. The state of the art technology and estimation of all the geological, gemorphological, soils and land use etc, the investigation of the study area, which is necessary for groundwater resources evaluation has been digested well in this paper.
