In this study an approach using remote sensing and GIS has been applied to identify the natural resources problems and to generate locale specific micro-watershed development plans for a part of Shetrunji river basin in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat. Micro-watershed level planning requires a host of inter-related information to be generated and studied in relation to each other. Remotely sensed data provides valuable and up-to-date spatial information on natural resources and physical terrain parameters. Geographical Information System (GIS) with its capability of integration and analysis of spatial, aspatial, multi-layered information obtained in a wide variety of formats both from remote sensing and other conventional sources has proved to be an effective tool in planning for micro-watershed development.Read More
