According to quality and suitability of groundwater, 27 groundwater samples collected from Anjani and 13 groundwater samples from Jhiri river basins were studied. Major ion chemistry results reveals that the concentration of  Ca2+, Mg 2+ , Na, K, F, Cl, HCO, SO2- and NO from  groundwater samples get affected by lithology and anthropogenic influences.  Groundwater geochemistry results shows that the (Ca2+and Mg2+) exceeds than (Na+ and K), (HCO) exceeds (Cl, SO2 and NO). In order to trace elements Zn, Fe, Ni, Mn and Cu concentrations were lower, Pb and Cd concentrations were relatively higher than recommended guidelines of WHO and BIS. Assessment of groundwater quality based on graphical representations, piper plot reveals that the groundwater is Ca-Cl-HCO type. Based on the Wilcox diagram groundwater samples falls in C4S1 category, indicates high salinity hazards.  <#LINE#> @ @ Chourasia L.P. and Adil S.H., Evolution of hydrochemical facies and assessment of  groundwater quality for irrigation use in the Bewas river basin, central India Proc. of Fifth International Groundwater Conference (IGWC-2012) Ground water Research Series 5 (3), 445-469 (2012) @No $ @ @ Brindha K. and Elango L., Hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater for domestic and irrigation purposes in Madhuranthakam, Tamil Nadu, India Earth Sciences Research Journal15(2) 101- 108 (2011) @No $ @ @ WHO Guidelines for drinking water quality Recommendation World Health organization, Geneva (1984) @No $ @ @ Geological Survey of India Geology of the Jalgaon District, Maharashtra Geological Survey of India 125th Annual Celebration (1976) @No $ @ @ APHA, American Public Health Association Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater; 16thEdition, Washington DC (2006) @No $ @ @ BIS (IS: 10500 91 revised) Drinking Water Standards (2003) @No $ @ @ Piper AM A graphic procedure in geochemical interpretation of water analyses.

The change analysis was performed by post classification comparison method, comparing the data of two different sensors (Lands at TM and LISS III IRS P-6), at different time periods (years 1992 and 2004). The growth of Delhi measured between two time periods was based on the above data set. The results showed that there was rapid change in land cover/land use. It was found that there was a phenomenal change in the built-up area in watersheds, loss of forest cover and change in agriculture land. There is a great need for sustainable management of resources to maximise benefits of societal resources. On the basis of these data the land transformation map for different time periods has been prepared and showing land transformation data.  <#LINE#> @ @ Singh B. and Singh A., Spatio-temporal analysis of land use/land cover transformation of Delhi-A remote sensing approach.
