Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the groundwater availability in the Amran basin. Remote sensing data and geographic information system were used to locate potential zones for groundwater in the Amran basin. Various maps (i.e., base, geological, structural, drainage, slope, land use/land cover hydrological, and groundwater level) were prepared using the remote sensing data along with the existing maps. The groundwater availability of the basin is qualitatively classified into different classes (i.e., good, good to moderate, moderate, moderate to poor and poor), based on its contribution of the groundwater conditions, on 1: 100,000 scale map. The alluvial plain in main valleys, highly fractural areas and sandy formation areas like Tawilah formation, Nayfa and Amran Group were successfully delineated and shown as the prospective zones of groundwater.
