GIS and remote sensing can be used to analyze the spatial characteristics of the data over various digital layers. Solid waste and their proper disposal t is a global environmental problem in today’s world. Solid waste and its disposal site were determined of Akola City, Maharashtra, India, through the integration of geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing techniques. Geologically the area coves by the Deccan trap basalt and Purna alluvium of the upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene and Quaternary formation. The rocks from the city are fracture and presences of jointing pattern leading infiltration of the water and in monsoon season the all kind of solid waste mixing with the rain water and causing the ground water pollution in the study area. The solid wastes from the MIDC area are more serious issue in the city which ultimately affects on ground water in near rural area and agriculture. The study area divided in to most suitable moderately suitable and suitable classes.
