The book describes the role of Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing in modeling the groundwater distribution pattern and quality in the state of Rajasthan in India. Groundwater table map of various time series (pre and post monsoon), rainfall maps and fluctuating patterns have been generated using the groundwater level data of pre and post monsoon seasons and daily rainfall datasets of Rajasthan. Further, the OCEANSAT - 2 OCM satellite data has been used for generating the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index maps. Groundwater quality maps (WQI maps) of Rajasthan have been generated using groundwater chemical data of the state. The WQI maps indicated that the groundwater quality decreases from the South-East to the North-West of the state. The safest zone is in the South-Eastern part of the study area. Various Geo-statistical techniques have been applied in generating all these maps.
