Hydrogeomorphic landforms always bear direct or indirect relationship among the various parameters controlling occurrence and movement of groundwater. So, for better planning and management of groundwater resources, study of hydrogeomorphic environment is proven essential and helpful to delineate the groundwater prospect zones. The present study is aimed to delineate groundwater potential zones evaluating hydrogeomorphic environment for future development and management in the area. The satellite image of IRS-1D (LISS III+PAN of October 2002) has been used to delineate the hydrogeomorphic units integrating ground truth data with field checks. The different hydrogeomorphic units identified using remote sensing data are dissected plateau, denudational hill, pediplain, alluvial plain and bazada. Pediplain, Alluvial plain and Bazada show good to excellent groundwater while remaining units represent very poor to moderate groundwater prospect.
