Geo-Spatial Technology (GST) For Assessing Groundwater Management and Modeling and Its Role in Food Security

Geo-spatial technology refers to a set of tools and techniques used to collect, analyze, and visualize spatial data related to the Earth’s surface. It plays a crucial role in almost all the fields including Groundwater studies. The combination of satellite and remote detecting information gives data about the different impact components of groundwater occurrence and its movement corresponding to the geology, geomorphology, soils, land use and land cover, drainage and lineaments density. Groundwater plays a major role in the Indian agriculture as over 60% of the irrigated land uses groundwater for agriculture. This study also includes the overuse of groundwater and its setback for the future food security in the country.
