Abstract-Water is a natural resource which is a basis of life, livelihood and sustainable development is fluctuating very fast.

India has more than 17 % of the world’s population, but has only 4% of world's renewable water resources with 2.6% of world's land area. (Gaikwad, January-2015 ) Water scarcity is serious problem throughout the world for both urban & rural community. Groundwater has emerged as the preferred water source in India. Rapidly decrease in ground water is a serious problem and compelled us to think about some artificial recharge of ground water. The present paper envisage to use Remote Sensing, GIS and Geophysical technique(vertical electrical sounding) for identification of suitable sites for rain water harvesting structure as an alternative source of water on hard rock terrain area of Talbehat block of Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh. Runoff is very high as compare to infiltration because of hard terrain features in Talbehat. Different thematic layers such as drainage network, rainfall data (2013-2018) land use/cover, geomorphology, lineament/ structure, field data by VES(DDR 3 Resistivity meter), Zohdy software for pseudo section are taken into account for multi criteria evaluation. Overlay analysis of different thematic layers suggests suitable sites for rain water harvesting structure by the help of final ground water prospects map. Suitability map will help in selection of harvesting structures such as percolation tanks, nala bunds, check dams and disiltation tank etc. Key words- Remote Sensing, GIS, VES by DDR3 Resistivity meter, DEM, Land use/cover, Geomorphology.

1. INTRODUCTION Water plays a vital role not only in fulfilling basic human need for life and health but in socio-economic development also. As the primary source of water is rainfall, so it becomes necessary for us to harvest it effectively we can maximize the storage and minimize the wastage of rain water. Surface water assets are deficient to meet the water necessity because of inconsistent appropriation of precipitation. So as to prevent the lackness of groundwater, artificial reviving of groundwater water is finished by using remote sensing, GIS and geophysical studies. Ground water is the world's biggest available stockpiling framework, which is the main substitute of surface water supply. The ground water asset constitutes a piece of the dynamic hydrological cycle. . In permeable surface material for example sand or rock 40 to 50 percent of the rain and snowmelt may penetrate into the ground. Invasion into less permeable surface material may go from 5 to 20 percent. Talbehat block comes under hard rock terrain which means runoff is very high as compare to infiltration. 85% population of this block belong to rural area and depend upon agriculture the water available is insufficient to fulfill their needs which leads to suggest some artificial recharge structure. According to IMD from 2007 rainfall pattern had been damaged.

1.1 Concept of Rain Water Harvesting Structure Rain Water Harvesting is defined as the concentration; collection and in situ storage of rainwater at a different location, immediately or at a later time (: Nadhir Al-Ansari, April 18, 2014). RWH aims to improve the efficient use of rainfall by capturing it on the site where it falls, and capturing the runoff for irrigation, livestock and domestic purpose. The appropriate choice of water harvesting technique depends on rainfall and its distribution, topography, land use land cover (LULC), and soil.

1.2 Factor Consider For Rain Water Harvesting Structure 

Availability of runoff water.

Depth to underground storage space.

Quantity of source water available.
