In Nagpur region, Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) is monitoring the ground water quality of the district since the last four decades through its established monitoring wells. Ground water trace and exploration has become a cumbersome task in central India in due to irregularities in annual rainfall. The objectives behind the monitoring are to develop an overall picture of the ground water quality of the district. Hydrological traces and possibilities is sought with the help of natural landscape elements like topographical landforms, drainage patterns and watersheds, vegetative land use, soils patterns etc. by image interpretation techniques. The present study was carried out in an area covering around 520.86 sq.km. to deduce the groundwater potential zones in urban industrial fringe area of Nagpur (Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation - MIDC, Butibori), based on the remote sensing techniques and interpreting and overlaying basic natural landscape parameters.
