Abstract

A case study was conducted to identify the suitability of potential sites for groundwater recharge structures in
Bandal watershed, Uttaranchal, using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS). Sites
for 8 check dams, 86 groundwater recharge structures (percolation tanks) and 15 farm ponds and check dams
were identified covering an area of 449,531 m2, 449,531 m2 and 36,448 m2, respectively.
