Abstract Water is elixir of life which needs regular assessment for maintaining ecological balance. Micro watershed wise (a few thousand hectares of extent) water resource action plan is need of the hour especially for a hard rock terrain like Raghunathapalli watershed of Jangaon District. Geologically, the area is underlain by Quartzite and Pelitic Schist of Older Metamorphics and Leuco Granite / Grey Alkali FelpsarGranite Terrain (Peninsular Gneissic Complex) belonging to Archeans. The Archeans are intruded at several places by several Pegmatite Veins and Basic Dolerite Dykes. The average annual rainfall of the study area for the past 19 years is 946 mm and that of monsoonal rainfall is 746 mm. In order to do artificial ground water recharge, the study and analysis of parameters that control the ground water recharge is very important for effective ground water recharge. The spatio-temporal variations in rainfall, regional/local distribution in geological formations and geomorphic composition of various units have led to uneven occurrence and distribution of water resources. Different thematic layers like Geology, Geomorphology, Stream Network, Micro Watersheds, Digital Elevation Model, Contours (2m), Base Layers, Soil and Ground Water Potential maps are prepared using Geospatial technologies like Remote Sensing & GIS. Existing Recharge Structures are marked using 1:25,000 scale Survey of India Toposheets and new locations are updated with high resolution satellite imagery. Micro watershed wise Water Balance studies are carried out and Water Resources Development Action Plan is prepared using Ridge to Valley concept with new artificial recharge structures like Check Dams (22), Percolation Tanks (10), Contour Trenches (68Kms), Subsurface Dyke (2), Farm Pond (268), Recharge Pit (179), Recharge Shaft (16), Desilting Tank (24 nos) etc at suitable terrain conditions. Newly proposed locations for constructions of Rainwater harvesting structures in the gap areas will improve the ground water regime and improves the sustainability of wells for agriculture in the drought prone area of Raghunathapalli watershed. Thus Geospatial technologies are cost effective tools for management and conservation of water resources.
