Abstract :
A remote sensing based geological analysis was carried out in the hard rock terrains of Central Tamil Nadu, India. Rock-soil contact, pervious-impervious soil covered areas, structural trend lines and folded configurations and lineaments were interpreted from airborne and satellite data. Finally, the favourable domains were integrated with deep water level areas, the suitable sites for artificial recharge were identified
