The present study area (Vaippar river basin) lies located between Latitude 9° 0’ to 9° 45’ and east longitude 77 ° 20’ to 78° 20’ north latitude covered Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli district in Tamilnadu. The basin area is demarcated from the survey of India Topographical maps and covers an area about 4900Sqkm .The problem of the present study is a representative case of over exploitation of ground water resources, leading to the continuous exhaustion of the grained as well as the groundwater aquifers. The application of the increasingly and internationally accepted method of artificial recharge on the ground water aquifer was decided to be the most effective for the restoration of balance of the hydro geological system. The details of Hydrological conditions of the area is necessary for the success of the method, whose planning has to be made based on the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development. Use of state-of-the-art technology and estimation of all the parameters involved, which are necessary, have been taken into account. Geological, geomorphological, landuse etc., investigation of the study area, which is necessary for groundwater resources evaluation, has been digested well in this paper.
