In Neyveli, Tamilnadu, India, a deep-seated multi-layered confined aquifer is being continuously pumped to permit safe mining of lignite. This paper highlights the various ground water recharge studies undertaken to quantify the potential of recharging the Neyveli hydrogeological basin to maintain the regional ground water balance. GIS studies were used to analyze artificial recharge in the Neyveli basin, commencing from the deep water table zone (recharge area) in the western upland part, the confined aquifer zone closer to the active mining area, and the confined zone further away in the east, down-dip and closer to the coast.
