Description Groundwater is an essential source of drinking water in Punjab state as it is easily
available from shallow and deep aquifers through tubewells. However, groundwater as source of
water is a complex system integrating spatially variable physical, geological and quality
attributes. In the present study, Remote Sensing and GIS based Information System for rural
drinking water supply sources having the capability to store, manage and analyse the large spatial
data set has been developed for Ludhiana district. The water quality data was linked with
respective water source in GIS environment using Inverse Distance Weighted Interpolation
technique to generate water quality maps of Pre monsoon and Post monsoon seasons. Rural
drinking water supply information system was generated using MapServer which is an open
source development environment for building spatially enabled internet applications based on
PHP/Map Script. Different layers viz. geomorphology, transport network, drainage, canal
network, settlements of Ludhiana district based on LISS III satellite data in mapfile were linked
with the information system using configure file. The output seasonal layer contains information
about Ludhiana district/village/habitation and diurnal seasonal and variations in the ground water
quality parameters. The pH, chloride, nitrate and sulphate parameters of the groundwater are well
within the desirable limit over the whole area of the Ludhiana district. The total dissolved solids,
total hardness, total alkalinity, iron and fluoride of the groundwater of Ludhiana district are within
permissible limits specified for potable water. The values of all the water quality parameters
except total hardness, decreases after the monsoon seasons. The information system provides the
users complete information about the spatial distribution of the drinking water supply sources in
the district and the variability of ground water quality parameters over the pre and post monsoon
seasons. The developed Information System works well at village level and will serve as a tool for
preparedness/planning and managing the rural drinking water supply sources/schemes in the
district.
