Water resource planning of micro watershed using geospatial technique.Soil and Water Conservation Engineering (Agricultural Engineering), Dr. PanjabraoDeshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola. M. Tech. 2018. Print. xi, 79p. (Unpublished).http://krishikosh.egranth.ac.in/handle/1/5810081045An effort has been made to highlight the use of remote sensing and GIS for the micro watershed planning. The calculated values of geomorphological characteristics were interpreted in terms of drainage basin characteristics. During the field checking, existing water resources were measured according to the requirements and field conditions, suitable soil and water conservation structures such as in-situ conservation structures, gully control structures and bore wells are proposed for water resource development of micro watershed.Geospatial Techniques like Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) were used for land and water management action plan for some part of Purna-Tapi micro watershed in Akola district, Maharashtra. Keeping in view the need of micro level planning and usefulness of modern tools and technology a study on water resource planning of water resources for micro watershed was conducted. The objectives of the present research work were to prepare the thematic maps of land use/ land cover, soil, slope and drainage using satellite imagery data and survey of India (SOI) toposheet, morphometric analysis of micro watershed and to integrate all the maps under GIS environment to prepare the water resource management plans for the study of micro watershed. The study will be helpful in identification of sites for construction of different soil and water conservation structures like water harvesting structures, check dams, farm ponds, percolation tanks, nala bunds, nala widening and deepening of drainage network etc. Different soil and water conservation works are suggested under water resource action plan with specific sites, locations and maps. The study will be helpful in sustainable development of the natural resources of the micro watershed with the proper implementation of the proposed action plans.enArea, Altitude, Latitude, Survey, Surveying Methods, Remote Sensing, Geographical Information System,Topography, Agroclimatic Zones, Rainfall Data, Data Management, Meteorology, Seasons, Drainage,Land use/Land cover Maps, Soil map, Morphometry, Soil and water conservation, Runoff, Water resource management.Thesis
