Water has become a scarce resource all over the world. Water resources of Earth can be classified as surface water and ground water in which groundwater is the main source for the domestic purpose and agriculture. The aim and objectives of the work is preparation of various thematic data such as Drainage, Drainage density, Lineament, Lineament density, Geomorphology and Land use/Land cover using IRS P6 LISS IV satellite dataUsing Digital Image processing, the supervised, unsupervised Classification, band merging and filtering Techniques for updating the above all thematic maps.To identify the recharge favorable zone areas, the above-mentioned parameters were analyzed in a GIS by assigning appropriate ranks and weights. Integration analysis was carried with all the thematic maps. Weightages were assigned to prepare the artificial recharge zonation map.
