The main objective of the present study is to apply innovative
approach to assess the groundwater controlling features, to identify
and delineate prospective groundwater zones and finally build
up a groundwater prospect map. This objective is achieved by
preparation of thematic maps for the most important contributing
parameters that indicate groundwater potential such as lithology,
lineaments, drainage, topography and slopes through GIS module.
Field observations and geophysical investigations are applied to
test the validity of the resulting GIS module for locating groundwater
prospective zones. The advantage of such methods is to conduct
regional and cost-effective investigations over large areas as is the
