Abstract

This study on groundwater status in Rajanukunte Gram Panchayat, Bangalore geologically lies at 13°09'58.7"N and 77°33'57.8"E. GIS and Remote sensing database was used to interpret watershed boundaries and direction flow map in order to estimate the groundwater quality. Altogether the thematic layers were overlaid, oriented, interpreted and examined using QGIS software. Groundwater samples were collected and determined fourteen physicochemical parameters like pH, total dissolved solids, electric conductivity, nitrate, total alkalinity, sulphate, fluoride, magnesium, chloride, total hardness, iron, sodium, phosphate, and calcium. As a part of this study, the groundwater level in the study area was monitored on monthly basis. Non-spatial data such as groundwater Quality, groundwater Level and rainfall data was graphically represented, these data were interpreted on maps using QGIS attribute tables. QGIS software was also used to generate base map, contour, hill-shades, elevation, DEM, streams, flow direction, drainage and delineation of watershed boundaries. Further, this study contributes in creation of GIS database for integration of geospatial and socio- economic data.
