摘要：Water is prime requirement for sustaining life on the planet Earth. The increasing population, urbanisation, industrialisation and agricultural practices have put pressure on the quantity and quality of groundwater. In the arid to semi-arid regions of the world, groundwater is the main source for drinking, agricultural and industrial purposes. The excessive use of groundwater for these practices has put pressure on the groundwater availability and quality in these regions. Though, groundwater is a replenishable natural resource but the high exploitation and less recharge have created the problem of depletion of this precious natural resource. The modern techniques like remote sensing satellite data, geographical information system and global positioning system have played vital role in assessing, planning and management of groundwater resource. The present study area, Loharu block is situated in the south-western part of Bhiwani district between the latitudes 28022’57’’N to 28039’49’’N and 75040’52’’E to 75054’47’’E and covering 337.59 sq. km. The groundwater quality and quantity scenario in the block has been assessed using geographical information system. In the study 23 groundwater samples have been collected during field visit and analysed using field water testing kit. The water table depth, tube well depth and mean sea level maps have also been prepared on the basis of data collected during field visit. The integrated groundwater quality map has been prepared in by integrating all the twelve groundwater quality layers. The groundwater quality falls in permissible to non-potable categories in the study area. In the block, 73% area has non-potable groundwater quality. The depth of water table is ranging between 40m to 100m and depth of tube wells is ranging 110m to 150m. The mean sea level in the block is ranging between 220m to 300m. The study is highly useful for block for planning and management of groundwater in the block
