| Abstract: | Hydrogeomorphology and lineament studies have been completed by using satellite data for the Pageru river basin, Cuddapah district, Andhra Pradesh, India through visual interpretation of IRS-1B-LISS II FCC (57J/6, J/7, J/10 and J/11) on a 1:50,000 scale. The area has been visually interpreted to delineate various hydrogeomorphic units and lineaments for the development of groundwater. From these studies, various geomorphic units were classified as favourable, moderately favourable and poor zones of groundwater. The integration of geomorphology and lineament studies reveal that shallow groundwater occurrence is controlled by geomorphological characteristics whereas faults/fractures control the yield of groundwater at intermediate depths. |
