Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the assessment of groundwater quality in urban areas utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing techniques. The study aims to investigate the level of groundwater contamination and identify potential sources of pollution in urban environments. By integrating GIS and Remote Sensing technologies, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of groundwater quality parameters and spatial distribution patterns in urban areas. The introduction section provides a background of the study, highlighting the importance of groundwater as a vital natural resource and the challenges posed by urbanization and human activities on groundwater quality. The problem statement identifies the need to assess and monitor groundwater quality in urban areas to safeguard public health and environmental sustainability. The objectives of the study include evaluating groundwater quality parameters, mapping contamination sources, and developing a spatial model for risk assessment. The literature review chapter synthesizes existing knowledge on groundwater quality assessment, GIS applications, and Remote Sensing techniques in environmental monitoring. Key themes explored include groundwater pollution sources, spatial analysis methods, and data integration approaches for assessing water quality in urban settings. The research methodology chapter outlines the data collection methods, sampling techniques, and analytical tools employed in this study. Groundwater samples are collected from various locations in the urban area, and laboratory analysis is conducted to measure physicochemical parameters. GIS software is utilized to create spatial maps of groundwater quality indicators, while Remote Sensing data is used to identify land use patterns and potential pollution sources. The discussion of findings chapter presents the results of the groundwater quality assessment, highlighting spatial variations in contamination levels and identifying hotspots of pollution in the urban area. The analysis reveals correlations between land use activities and groundwater quality parameters, providing insights into the factors influencing water quality degradation in urban environments. In conclusion, this research project emphasizes the importance of integrating GIS and Remote Sensing technologies in assessing groundwater quality in urban areas. The study contributes to the understanding of groundwater contamination sources and provides valuable information for decision-makers and environmental planners to implement effective management strategies for protecting groundwater resources in urban settings. The findings of this research have significant implications for sustainable water resource management and environmental conservation efforts in urban areas.
