IDENTIFYING LINEAMENTS FOR GROUNDWATER EXPLORATION USING REMOTELY SENSED IMAGERY ABSTRACT Water wells in hard-rock aquifers are more productive where the well bore intersects fracture networks. Fracture networks are often not readily discernable on the surface. Lineament analysis using remotely sensed satellite imagery has been employed to identify surface expressions of fracturing, and a variety of image-analysis techniques have been successfully applied in “ideal” settings where influences of human development, vegetation, and climatic situations are minimal. There is not a protocol for ma
