Zusammenfassung: | Transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity are essential parameters for understanding the behavior and characteristics of aquifers, and useful for framing of ground water sustainability and management aspects. After well construction and subsequent analysis of pumping test data (PTDA), the aquifer parameters can be determined. In the study area, the drilling methods are not anticipated for construction of tube wells uniformly, but the area has an ideal ground water recharge and flow conditions. The hydrogeological data gaps of aquifer parameters are observed in the study area. Keeping in view, the database is generated by using geo-electrical resistivity survey. Further, these are validated with ground truth (limited hydrogeological studies of yield test, existing lithological, and transmissivity data), and in this queue, other researchers had not yet been discussed for this type of terrain. The authors discussed the importance of geophysical results for generation of hydrogeological data without drilling and said about the optimal time saving, labor costs, and financial burdens. The study area is categorized in two segments based on the geological variations—Siwalik piedmont area (zone 1) and alluvial plains (zone 2). There were 30 numbers of vertical electrical soundings (VES) conducted in the area and resulted to derive the aquifer disposition and aquifer parameter (modeled transmissivity “T”). The VES-based modeled transmissivity (
