Abstract
The growing urbanization and industrialization are the major sources for polluting water sources. As a result, surface and groundwater resources are unsuitable for domestic and industrial and agricultural purposes. The study area, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) is the largest municipal corporation in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is covering an area of 545 km2 bounded by Bay of Bengal, Kailasagiri and YaradaKonda. A systematic delineation of groundwater potential zones using modern techniques is essential for proper utilization and management of this precious natural resource. In this study SOI, IRS-1D and SRTM satellite data have been used to delineate thematic maps such as drainage, soil, geomorphology, geology, lineament, land use/land cover, and slope. Besides quantity of groundwater resources has been assessed using GEC Norms-1997 based on Novel the proposed Hydro Spatial Analysis Information System (HAIS) model. A comparative analysis was conducted on various open GIS software’s like Spatialite-GIS, QSWAT, OGR2OGR and GDAL.
