Conventional surveys are tedious, time consuming apart from being impractical in the inaccessible and inhospitable terrain. Moreover, many features of regional nature could not be mapped precisely owing to lack of regional perspective. Earlier, the aerial photographs have been used for deriving information on lithology, geomorphology and structures. By virtue of providing synoptic view of the terrain at regular intervals, space borne multi-spectral measurements offer immense potential in generating the information on parameters required for groundwater exploration, exploitation and development.
