“Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere.” Around two third of fresh water is constituted by ground water. In India most of the rural and parts urban population mainly depends upon groundwater for human and animal consumption. Groundwater plays a vital role in human consumption, agriculture, industries and for other purposes and any changes in its quality have adverse consequences. The major groundwater affected zones are concentrated as study area it includes parts of Tamil Nadu such as, North - western zone of Tamil Nadu (Salem, Dharmapuri, Nammakal, Krishnagiri and Perambalur). The main objective is to find the groundwater potentialzones of the study area. The factors like like Slope, Lineament density, Drainage density, Soil and Lithology were created using Sentinal-2 satellite data with remote sensing tools and softwares. The groundwater potential zones were mapped by combining the above mentioned factors with Normalized Pairwise Comparison Matrix method. Based on this study groundwater potential status was given to detect the changes in quality and give early warnings of groundwater potential to the farmers, industries, water department and rural population.
