Morphometric studies are carried out keeping in view that the immediate need of a suitable plan of groundwater investigation, development and management to improve socio-economic status of the local people of the Mathadi vagu basin, Adilabad district. The evolution of systematic and scientific research work for utilizing it for the development of farmers to improve the irrigation facilities, an attempt is made for the identification of zones for artificial recharge structures to improve the groundwater potential zones and their optimization in the study area.
The geological formations covered in the study area are Deccan traps, limestones and granites. In these three formations, with Deccan trap being common geological formation, which is associated with hard rock and soft rock formations in close by neighboring areas will form an ideal case for over all study of morphometric features and their correlation will give better understanding of impact of lithology on drainage characteristics.
