The main objective of the research work is to manage the modelling of Urban Development of Coimbatore Districts by using GIS, GPS, and Remote Sensing. Remote sensing data namely IRS 1BLISS I for the years 1995 and 2005 and IRS ID LISS III for the year 2015 interpreted through supervised classification in DIP environment to arrive at land use/cover classes. A total of 24 groundwater samples were collected from boreholes ranging in depth between 6 to 16 m BGL from 2015. To study the impact of this rapid urbanization and overall land-use transition, a GWQI was prepared within GIS. The growth between the years 1995 - 2005 was relatively low compared with the years 2005 - 2015. Around 156.67 km2 area was added to the Residential, Commercial land category in ten years (1995 – 2015). It is found that urban areas are increased 130% due to population growth cum rapid economic progress. About 51% of barren lands converted into other uses, particularly 42.33% to urban areas.
