Power mining has a profound impact on countries and economies around the world. Economically, it fosters growth by providing jobs, earning income through exports, and supporting manufacturing and related industries Ability to ensure availability of valuable minerals and resources for a range of industries from gold, copper and other metals to coal and minerals. and sources are . The project also fosters technological innovation, leading to improvements in efficiency, safety and environmental sustainability. However, the impact of mining extends beyond economics, often affecting the environment and social development. Environmental problems such as habitat degradation and pollution, as well as social issues such as local displacement and human rights violations, highlight the need for sustainable practices and emphasis on responsible governance in the mining industry Mining activities in Karnataka have significantly impacted groundwater resources, leading to water scarcity and environmental degradation in the region. This study presents a framework for sustainable water resource management in mining-impacted zones through geospatial analysis and hydrogeological modelling. The study utilizes GIS and SWAT tools to assess groundwater potential and to recommend groundwater conservation measures. Groundwater potentiality has been delineated in different zones (very low, moderate, very good, good, low) in the study region based on weighted overlay analysis. The study reveals zones with different groundwater prospects viz. very low (0.003%), moderate (19.640%), very good (57.575%), good (28.544%), low (0.235%). The framework developed in this study serves as a valuable tool for policymakers, water resource managers, and mining companies to make informed decisions regarding sustainable water resource management in Karnataka's mining regions. By incorporating GIS and SWAT technologies, this framework enables efficient data analysis, visualization, and scenario planning for groundwater potential mapping and conservation strategies.
