Despite the advances in remote sensing technology, what is known about the reservoirs of groundwater and their interactions with other components of the water cycle system is not sufficient for management response requirements. Remote sensing can help in assessing mostly surface features qualitatively. Much research attention has to be focused on the water not visible below ground. It is time to more extensively explore the large volume of water that circulate beneath the ground surface upon which the citizens rely. Integration os RS with Isotope Hydrological Techniques and other physical methods can be helpful.
