Watershed Prioritisation

Watershed prioritisation atlas for Maharashtra – A resource database by MRSAC on 1:2,50,000 scale using GIS technique

This document by the Maharashtra Remote Sensing Applications Centre (MRSAC) presents the “Atlas on Watershed Prioritisation” using resources database on 1:2,50,000 scale adopting advanced techniques such as Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). This watershed prioritisation to plan the activities on priority basis and facilitate judicious utilization of the available financial resources was done for the Water Conservation Department (Government of Maharashtra), the nodal agency to service watershed development in the State.

Erosion response model for watershed prioritisation in Bajaj sagar sub catchment

This case study presents a erosion response model for watershed prioritisation in Bajaj sagar sub catchment of Mahi basin. The natural hydrologic processes like erosion of soil, movement of soil and its deposition in various parts of reservoir are very crucial phenomena occurring in any watershed. Erosion of soil is a very complex process which is affected by many factors and the loss caused is irreversible.Read More
