Abstract
An attempt has been made to delineate different hydrogeomorphological units in and around the immediate environs of Jhansi city with a view to attempt a correlation between the well yields and hydrogeomorphic units using satellite remote sensing technique. In general, a positive correlation is observed between the geomorphic units and the borewell yields with overlapping yields at the margin. The pediment residual hill complex is observed to provide wells with discharges ranging from 100 gallons per hour (gph) to 5000 gph, while the wells drilled in shallow weathered, buried pediplain has yields in the range of 2000 to 10000 gph moderately weathered, buried pediplain has discharges in the range of 8000 to 12000 gph, and deeply weathered, buried pediplain has discharges in excess of 12000 gph.
