.Groundwater is an important natural resource that supports human health, economic development, and ecological diversity. Rapid industrial development, urbanization, and increase in agricultural production have led to freshwater shortages in many parts of the world. Remote sensing and GIS methods permit rapid and cost-effective natural resource survey and management. Moreover, remotely sensed data serve as a vital tool in groundwater prospecting. The remote sensing data helps in fairly accurate hydro geomorphological analysis and identification and delineation of land features. The present research study is on the Anebidda Halla watershed in Chikmagalur district of Karnataka state falls in Survey of India toposheets numbers 48 0/11 and 48 0/12. The base map of the study area was prepared using SOI Toposheets and LISS III satellite images. Using ArcGIS 10.1 software, various thematic maps like slope map, Drainage network map. Land use/land cover map, Geomorphology map, Soil map, Lithology map, etc. were prepared. These thematic maps are integrated and prepared the groundwater potential zonation map of the area by weighted overlay analysis method and classified as very high, high, moderate, low, and very low. The groundwater potential zonation map gives first-hand information to local authorities, planners, and local peoples as well as the official to locate a suitable site for location for wells/tube wells.
