Abstract

The study aims at preparing the hydrogeomorphological map with spatial distribution of its elements through Geographic Information Technology ERDAS Imagine and ArcGIS software were used for studying hydrogeomorphological features. The work was done in parts of Vellar Basin, Central Tamil Nadu, India. Thematic maps of Geology, Geomorphology and Lineaments (Satellite data source) were prepared. The hydrogeomorphological map was prepared by integrating these maps one over the other, in GIS. A total of 126 various combinations were arrived in the hydrogeomorphological map presenting spatial distributions of individual elements.
