dc.description.abstractThe groundwater of a region is predisposed much by terrain factors along with climatic factors. Being a subsurface phenomenon groundwater cannot be observed directly, it had to be done indirectly based on the analysis of data of observable features collected through field observation and various geophysical techniques.  Groundwater occurrence is a phenomenon which is heavily dependent on multiple parameters viz., Geomorphology, geology, land use, slope, soil texture, drainage density, lineament density, relief, and vegetation. The present study intends to examine the need and prospect of assessing the groundwater potential of a tropical watershed on Geographical Information System (GIS) platform using the Multi-Influencing Factor (MIF) technique.  A multi-influencing factor approach is used, where weights were assigned to each factor based on their level of influence and finally conducted weighted overlay platform to generate groundwater potential zones of the Perumba watershed, in the Kannur District of Kerala, India. Various parameters of groundwater have been analyzed from a geomorphological standpoint and potential zones were identified and categorized. The study signifies the application of MIF and GIS techniques in hydrological studies, as they qualify for comprehensive assessment and spatial analysis of various factors that affect the dynamics of groundwater. The results were verified through a field survey.en
