Groundwater potential areas are of prime importance in maintenance as well as conservation of available resources of water. Groundwater being the primary source of fresh water, is in great demand due to the increase in agricultural, industrial, population and domestic action. As a result, the groundwater table drops, causing water scarcity and resource deterioration. As a result, evaluating this irreplaceable resource is critical for the long-term sustainability of groundwater resources. In this paper, the prime focus is to find the groundwater potential zone using the MIF technique, which is a decision-making technique widely used in various sectors nowadays. It is a multi-criteria decision-making strategy in which the MIF technique assigns a defined rating and weight to raster layouts of all the subsurface water influencing characteristics. The prospective groundwater zones are then estimated statistically using graded thematic layers. Hence, the researchers and decision-making authorities can collaborate for some systematic exploration plan & the harvesting of zones done for future events. Protective & preservative measures can be taken by knowing potential groundwater zones to lower groundwater levels. Keywords: Groundwater, MIF, Remote Sensing and GIS INTRODUCTION Groundwater is the water contained in the crevices of geological formations under the earth's crust and is a replenishable element of the water cycle. It is the largest available
