This study presents a remote sensing based rapid watershed health appraisal of NWDPRA watersheds of Rajasthan. Eight micro-watersheds, distributed over different agro climatic zones of Rajasthan, India, were studied for their performance in terms of biomass gain, landuse change and changes along drainage line, if any. The study area is distributed across 8 agro-climatic zones ranging from desertic western plain to humid southern and south-eastern plain. The satellite data prior to treatment year (1988) was compared with post-treated year (1996), to reveal the noticeable changes over a span of 8 years.Read More
