Hi Gupta,
1. Prepare all the parameter maps and assign weights to all the
parameters.
2. First decide the overlay method (Raster Overlay or Vector Overlay)
3. If it is a Raster Overlay, Assign weights in attribute table of your vector
layers and
convert it into raster based on the weighted column of your attribute

table. Finally
do the Raster Overlay Analysis using the tool Raster Calculator which is
available
in most of the GIS softwares like ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.
4. If it is a Vector Overlay, After adding the weights in attribute table, do
the overlay by
using the Tool available in 3D Analyst Tools - Analysis Tools - Overlay Intersect
Option.

As Amit said, ArcGIS is a great tool for that. You can find some built-in
tools related to groundwater assessment in the "Toolbox - > Spatial
Analyst Tool -> Groundwater".
Also if you need more flexibility on your weighted overlay, you should try
"Toolbox -> Spatial Analyst Tool -> Map Algebra -> Raster Calculator"
which alows you to write your own equation.
Best regards,
Matheus

You can use any grid based gis package. I've used PCRaster to select
the best locations to win drinking water. See for instance JimnezMadrid, A., F. Carrasco-Contos, C. Martinez-Navarrete. (2012) Protection
of groundwater intended for human consumption: a proposed
methodology for defining safeguard zones. Eviron. Earth Sci. 65: 23912406
