Abstract: The study was conducted to assess and map the extent of waterlogging and groundwater quality in Hisar district through Geo-spatial techniques. The maps of water table depth and groundwater quality for pre and post monsoon seasons were generated for the years 2013 to 2018. LANDSAT-8 satellite image was effectively used for determining surface waterlogged area which found to be 7.76 per cent in Hisar district. Analysis of water table depth maps for both pre and post monsoon of Hisar district generated in GIS environment for the years 2013 to 2018 reveals that in post monsoon area (average 0.80 %) under fully waterlogged (< 1.5 m) condition was increased as compared to pre monsoon (average 0.30 %).
