The area having steep to moderate slope and elevation ranges from 584-1171m above the Mean Sea Level (MSL). Basin exhibits hilly and mountain terrain forming ridges and Western Ghats with deep valley, plateaus and plain. The whole area can obtained in topographical sheets i.e. 47 G/14, 47 G/15 47 K/2, 47 K/3 covering area about 627 sq.km, acquired from survey of India. The climate of basin is semi-arid to sub-humid climate. Average annual rainfall is 800-1800mm in the study area. Field work was carried out during post monsoon 2012 (winter) and collect the groundwater samples from the both bank of Tarali River Sub Basin.
