Groundwater is a valuable resource, which needs proper evaluation and management for all developmental activities of human beings. Remote sensing data have proved to be an indispensable tool in the evaluation of hydrogeomorphological features and groundwater resources. Hydrogeomorphological study was carried out in a part of Bhind district, Madhya Pradesh. In the present study, the different hydrogeomorphological units and associated lineaments have been delineated, using remote sensing data IRS-1B LISS II. The geology, geomorphology and lineament information along with other collateral data have been analyzed and integrated to evaluate the groundwater prospective geomorphic units. Hydrogeomorphologically, the entire area is classified into categories such as alluvial plain, valley fill, pediment, pediplain, buried pediplain and structural hill. The analysis reveals that the area covered by alluvial plain has excellent to good, and pediplain and buried pediplain have moderate to good groundwater conditions.

Groundwater is a dynamic and replenishable natural resource. Availability of groundwater in hard rock terrain is of limited extent and its occurrence is essentially confined to fractured and weathered zones (Saraf and Choudhary, 1998; and Lokesha et al., 2005). Geological and their associated structural features, geomorphic conditions and their hydrological characters play an important role in the identification and location of groundwater resources (Horton, 1945; Kumar and Srivastava, 1991; Tiwari and Rai, 1996; Ravindran and Jeyaram, 1997; NRSA, 2000; and Nag, 2005).

Recently, remote sensing data have proved to be an indispensable tool in hydrogeomorphological and groundwater studies, as it defines the spatial distribution of groundwater prospecting classes on the basis of geomorphology and other associated features. The present study is an attempt to prepare a hydrogeomorphological map to delineate the groundwater potential zone for prospecting. Similar attempts have been made in different parts of the country (Chopra and Sharma, 1992; Subba Rao, 1992; Jain, 1998; Rao et al., 1998; Kumar and Tomar, 1998; Murthy and Rao, 1999; Reddy et al., 2000; Subba Rao et al., 2001; Shankar, 2002; Jagannadha Rao et al., 2003; and Vittala et al., 2005).
