Groundwater is essential to the sustainability of India’s environment, economy, and living conditions because it isn’t just the primary source of domestic supply of water in rural areas, but it is also the major and most productive origin of the water. The increased demand for groundwater as a result of reduced rainfall has put a strain on groundwater resources in areas where groundwater is the primary supply of water. The main aim of this study is to identify and explore the groundwater potential zones in Talupula Mandal of 280.3 km2 in Ananthapur district in Andhra Pradesh, India with semi-arid climatic conditions. Based on the field survey approach, groundwater availability is found out in the villages. Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) survey technique was used to discover the resistivity and thickness of the unmistakable layers. It was carried out in 18 randomly selected sites where groundwater plays an important role in agricultural and domestic use. The thickness and resistivity of first- and second-layer crack sites of the various layers were separated from ground data using IPI2WIN programming. Using software, graphs were plotted and groundwater potential zones were identified for recharging the groundwater. Based on the results, different models of recharge structures for the study area are identified and recommended. Hence the management of groundwater paves the way for sustainable groundwater levels.
