Hydrogeological investigations in Bonai area of Sundargarh district, Odisha: An integrated approach
Authors

Abstract
An attempt has been made in the present investigation to understand the hydro geological parameters of the study area. The most common methods of groundwater exploration are Geological, Geophysical and Remote Sensing techniques. From the resistivity data it is evident that most of the 5-layered cases are confined to the areas underlain by Bonai Granite whereas 4-layered cases are observed in almost all the lithostratigraphic units. It is also clear that groundwater can be tapped from 2nd layer through dug wells, from 3rd layer through dug-cum-bore wells and bore wells and from 4tn layer through only deep bore wells. The ground truth studies reveal that better well yields are received from the area in the vicinity of NE-SW trending lineament. Also it is marked that the areas of intersection points of lineaments serve as potential zone of groundwater. The groundwater potential of the area is controlled by lineaments/ fractures. The area of extension of lineaments in buried pediment, pediplain and intermontane valley, alluvial plain etc. are to be considered during selection of well sites as such locations have good water potentialities.
