Abstract:
Overflowing tube wells are the wells those given water without any pumping. This research
was carried out through out the Monaragala district. There is a drinking water problem in
Monaragala district in dry period. Evaluate any relationship between overflowing tube wells
and fractured zones in Monaragala, resulting a map that contains overflowing tube wells and fractured zones in Monaragala and giving locations of good aquifers are main objectives of this research. This task can be performed using Aerial photos of Monaragala and GIS technology. In addition locations of good aquifers to construct tube wells are given
through this map. Aerial photos interpretation methodology was used to find out
fractured zone’s global positioning coordinates. When, identifying fractured zones had
to use Arcview GIS 3.2 software package. Digital map software used for located
fractured zones and overflow tube wells locations. After observation of developed
map, found availability of relationship of above relationship. Actually there is a
relationship between overflow tube wells and fractured zones. Seventh of overflowing
tube wells out of ten overflowing tube wells were intersected with fractured zones.
