        abstract = {Today, water demand is increasing due to rapid urbanization, industrial growth and agricultural utilizations. Groundwater levels are decreasing due to all the above activities, decreasing of annual rainfall year to year due to climatic changes and increasing runoff. Hence, it is necessary to increase groundwater levels from the perspective of groundwater use for future demand. Keeping this in view, we have done a model study for a particular area. The study area consists part of the Rajapet Watershed, Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district of Telangana, India. And the Study Area covers the 172 sq km, the area lies between 170 21’58” and 17045’16” North latitude and 780 44’16”and 790 02’51” East Longitude, With Toposheet Nos. E44M13 (56 K/13) and E44M14 (56 K/14). In the present study, we carried out delineation of groundwater prospect zones using LISS-IV geocoded data on a 1:50000 scale. The information on structure, geomorphology and hydrology were generated and integrated to prepare a groundwater prospect map for the study area. GIS was used to prepare database on the above layers, analysis of relationship and integrated map preparation. The study area has complex geomorphology. On the basis of geomorphic characteristics, four categories of groundwater potential zones: Very good-good, good moderate, poor-nil and nil are delineated. In the final map, we have identified the areas with less groundwater potentials.},
