Evaluation of groundwater quality potential zones using AHP and WIOA models in Shopian District, Jammu and Kashmir, India: A GIS Shoib Maqbool, Vineesha Singh, Manoj Kumar Patley, Sapna Kinattinkara, Thangavelu Arumugam Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, 2024 Groundwater is an important natural resource stored in aquifers beneath the earth's surface. The hilly district of Shopian in Jammu and Kashmir serves as a study area due to its present and future groundwater needs. This study aims to assess the groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) in Shopian District using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted index overlay analysis (WIOA). The AHP approach attempted to assign weights to specific groundwater recharge characteristics. The various thematic maps, including rainfall, land cover and usage, slope, drainage density, geomorphology, soil, and geology, were integrated using overlay analysis to create a comprehensive GWPZ map. Geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) tools were utilized to indicate the potential groundwater existence in the studied area. Four zones were created from the GWPZ: very poor, poor, good, and very good. The analysis showed that the very poor GWPZ is around 35.12 sq km, the poor zone is roughly 166.89 sq km, the excellent zone is approximately 340 sq km, and the very good zone is approximately 66.13 sq km. The present study reveals significant perspectives for organizing and effectively restocking groundwater locations within the district. It intends to safeguard the sustainability of groundwater resources for future generations by promoting their successful development and management.
Sub-watershed prioritization for soil and water conservation - a case study of lower Wardha River, Maharashtra, India, using GI science B.S. Manjare, Vineesha Singh Geographic Information Science for Land Resource Management, 2021 The study area is part of the lower Wardha river of Wardha River basin, and lies between 200 16' 00" N to 200 35' 00"N latitude and 780 14' 00" E to 780 38' 00" E longitude with an area of about 781.84 km2. The drainage network shows a dendritic to sub-dendritic pattern and is non-perennial. Inadequate soil cover, sparse vegetation, erratic rainfall, and lack of soil moisture characterize the area for most of the year. Recurring drought coupled with an increase in groundwater exploitation results in a decline in the groundwater level. The relief ratio indicates that these watersheds' discharge capability is very high, and the groundwater potential is meager. The entire sub-watershed is divided into five smaller units viz., SW-I, SW-II, SW-III, SW-IV, and SW-V and may be taken up for development and management plans to conserve natural resources on a sustainable basis with immediate effects. The morphometric-based watershed prioritization SW-I, SW-II, and SW-IV show the medium priority, and SW-V shows low priority while SW-III shows the high priority. Based on priority needs, the sub-watersheds have been grouped into three categories: high priority, medium priority, and low priority.
Tectonic control on drainage network evolution and evidence of neotectonic activities in of the Wan River sub-basin, Central India B S Manjare, Vineesha Singh, S P Masurkar Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 The study area lies in the Northeastern part of the Gavilgrah fault vicinity, which is one of the essential tectonic elements of the Son-Narmada-Tapti lineament, trending ENE-WSE direction. In this study field, data and satellite data observation are used for drainage characteristics of Wan river sub-basins. The course of Wan River is mostly controlled by the Gavilgrah fault and associated tectonic elements. The Wan River, which crosses the North’s fault, exhibits two river terraces that rise and continue downstream, where the river flows on the down-thrown block. The drainage characteristics of the study area were investigated by using the LISS- III satellite data. The study of neotectonism is based on field evidence and drainage pattern. The nature of the drainage pattern in the study area shows dendritic, rectangular, and parallel together and shows evidence of neotectonic activity in the study area. The longitudinal river profile, the shape of the basin, gradient fluctuations, and valley incision, and their result also indicate neotectonic activities in the study area.
