Abstract

Information on landforms is an important input for land management. The aspects of morphography, morphogenesis, morphochronology and morphometry are vital inputs in preparation of geomorphological maps.The relief, slope, depth of weathering type of weathered material, thickness of deposition, nature of the deposited material and the assemblage of different landforms play an important role in defining the groundwater regime, especially in the hard rocks and the unconsolidated sediments. Geomorphological studies have been carried out to identify the land forms in the study area. The specific geomorphic groups in the study area are Hills, Plateaus, Pediments and Pediplains. The major rock groups in the study area are Peninsular Gneissic complex, Deccan trap and basic intrusive rocks. Using satellite imagery geomorphic units are identified and mapped.
