Appraisal of Remote Sensing Technology for Groundwater Resource Management Perspective in Indus Basin

The dynamic nature and unsustainable exploitation of groundwater aquifers pose a range management challenges. accurate basin-wide hydrological assessment is very critical for the quantification abstraction rates, spatial patterns usage, recharge discharge processes, identification areas having mining. This study provides appraisal remote sensing technology in comparison with traditionally prevailing tools methodologies introduces practical use to bridge data gaps. It demonstrates example Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite inferred Total Water Storage (TWS) information quantify behavior Upper Indus Plain Aquifer. spatio-temporal changes aquifer usage are investigated particularly irrigation anthropogenic purposes general. GRACE effective capturing water balance components. monthly scale storage monitoring big opportunity managers policymakers. integrated algorithms useful provide timely valuable on behavior. Such potentially helpful support implementation strategies, especially developing world where scarcity major challenge. Groundwater resources have not grown meet growing demands population, consequently, overexploitation has occurred these decades, leading decline. However, future developments field space envisioned overcome currently faced
