Abstract
Artificial groundwater recharge is a process by which the
groundwater reservoir is augmented at a rate exceeding the
augmentation rate under natural conditions of replenishment.
In some parts of India, due to over-exploitation of
groundwater, decline in groundwater levels resulting in
shortage of supply of water, and intrusion of saline water in
coastal areas have been observed. In such areas, there is need
for artificial recharge of groundwater by augmenting the
natural infiltration of precipitation or surface-water into
underground formations by methods such as water spreading,
recharge through pits, shafts, wells etc. The choice of a
particular method is governed by local topographical,
geological and soil conditions; the quantity and quality of
water available for recharge; and the technological-economic
viability and social acceptability of such schemes. In our
project our study area is mainly comprised of hilly terrain
with the maximum elevation at 1515 m at Shevory Hills,
(Yercaud). With other hillocks and hills are Nathakari
Karadiyur ,, etc. In the South west of the study area, a lake is
situated namely Kannankuruchi Lake. It is a natural lake
Three Side surrounded by hills and one side by salem city by
which it receives sources of water. Kannankuruchi lake is
about 200 square meter in area which provides water to
Salem town before the supply of Cauvery water from Mettur.
Now this source of water is used to meet the requirements in
some parts of southern suburbs of Salem city and Namakkal
District upto Rasipuram Town. This source of water will
support to enhance the over all augmentation of sub surface
water in the study area. Now a day the supply of Cauvery
water is not fulfilling the needs of people and its sub urban
because of increase in population. Any improvement in
ground water condition of study area will have the chance of
additional supply of drinking water and also the possibility of
increase in agricultural activity in and around the said village.
Hence we plan to do research and propose the ideas for
recharging the water to Kannankuruchi by using Remote
Sensing Technology with analyzing rainfall.
