This paper critically reviewed fuzzy and Boolean logic based studies for identifying sites for groundwater artificial recharge which is very important and necessary to implement with high accuracy and in the possible minimum time. Using weighted values from Geographical Information System (GIS) environment and with the means of Fuzzy Logic and Boolean Logic on the thematic layers. The exact type of artificial recharge structure, like Check dam, nallabund, gully plugging and percolation ponds are selected for an artificial recharge. The conventional practice in water harvesting takes into consideration of availability of land, suitability of a particular artificial recharge technique depending on local conditions, and the area benefited. Hence, decisions regarding to the location and type of recharge structure for water conservation can be made only after extensive geological and hydrogeological studies for regional scale. This leads investing an enormous amount of time and money in identification of sites suitable for artificial-recharge. The aim of the paper is to review fuzzy and Boolean logic based study for identifying suitable site for artificial Recharge of Groundwater with help of GIS and Remote sensing techniques. In this paper, GIS based on fuzzy and Boolean based modelling approach providing powerful tools for identifying and classifying recharge zones with suitable structures by values ranging between 0 to 1.
