Water is one of the main natural resource that is essential for human’s daily life domestic, industrial agriculture and other like fields. This needs periodic assessing and monitoring of water resources for its sustainability. Mapping and integration of lithology, geomorphology, drainage lineament, soil types slope pattern, land use/land cover and other related features was carried out in Southern tip of Karnataka State using GIS techniques to assess the groundwater prospect zones. The present study aims to predict the good, moderate, poor and very poor groundwater prospects zones using water level measured in available dug/bore wells of the study area collected during the year 2017. Each lithological units and geomorphological landforms are mapped during limited field visits and digitized using visual image interpretation and Digital Image Processing (DIP) on Satellite Remote Sensing data through Arc GIS software. The final results highlight the potentiality of GIS application in mapping of groundwater prospect zones
