摘要
Assessment of potential groundwater recharge sites and sustainable water resource management in semi-arid crystalline rock terrain is a challenging task. Globally, analysis of remote sensing satellite imagery data for delineation of groundwater potential zones over sheared crystalline hard rock terrains has been fairly successful. But there is no existing study present at our disposal which discusses the factors controlling the inconsistent groundwater potentiality that exits along the shear zones. This study attempts to analyse the major geological factors controlling the irregular groundwater potentiality of shear zones within older crystalline rock terrain. Therefore, the study area selected for this analysis is the Purulia district of West Bengal, NE India, composed mostly of Precambrian metamorphic rocks i.e., quartzite, granite gneisses, porphyroclastic granite-gneiss, quartzo-feldspathic-granite-gneiss, mylonitic granites, quartz-biotite-granite gneiss, quartzites, carbonatites and phyllites. Satellite imagery study of IRS-P6 LISS IV standard FCC image reveals the presence of two bifurcating shear zones namely North Purulia Shear Zone (NPSZ) and South Purulia Shear Zone (SPSZ) over the study area. Careful analysis of rock structure, different lithotypes, soil thickness, electrical resistivity tomography data and water table data with an emphasis on high water table fluctuation, shows a strong spatial relation between the potentially good groundwater recharge zones and the branching/confluence sites of shear zones present in the study area. The study constructs an attempt to demonstrate the relationship between shear zone conjunctions and significant groundwater recharge sites in Precambrian crystalline fractured-rock aquifer system.
