Abstract: Water resources in western Himalayas (Kashmir valley) are irregularly distributed in spatially as well as temporally. Effectively utilizing the water resources is an imperative task due to climate change. Assessing the potential zone of groundwater recharge is extremely important for the protection of water quality and the management of groundwater systems. Sindh watershed southern part of Kashmir valley is examined in this study to assess its groundwater resources potential. Remote sensing and the geographical information system were used to integrate five contributing factors: lithology, lulc, lineaments, drainage, and slope.
