3 Abstract: Isfahak is located in the south of the city of Tabas, eastern Iran and is a region of rapid active tectonics with abundant strike-slip and thrust-related earthquakes. We used the interactions between faults characteristics and surface geomorphology to assess groundwater potential zones in the study area to promote development of ground water management in a seismic area. A groundwater prospects map has been generated by integration of the geomorphology, lineaments, active faults, slope, land-use/land-cover and drainage maps, using GIS techniques. Then the obtained results have been checked by check field works. The results show that the location of ground water potential zones and the artificial recharge regions have a great relationship with seismic activities, fractured zones and the earthquake epicenters, in the study area.
