Erosion Response Model for Watershed Prioritisation in Bajaj Sagar Sub Catchment by Rajashree V Bothale et.al.
This paper analyses the response from a watershed using Erosion Response Model (ERM). In this method vegetation density, soil brightness, slope and morphometric parameters are used for watershed prioritisation. ERM utilises drainage and slope characteristics of watershed for prioritisation. ERM model adds the weights of each affecting parameter and calculates the response of watershed. |

Cadastral Level Resources Information System for Kundapallam (Kd1) and Neeralipallam(Kb3) Watershed in the Nilgiris District Using Remote Sensing, GPS And GIS by V. Kandasamy et al
Achieving and maintaining the ecological balance through eco-restoration, eco-development and eco-preservation is the prime objective of Cadastral Level Resources Information System with special emphasis on promoting the people living in the hill areas. The planning aims at the sustainable development of natural resources at cadastral level for maintaining the balance between the productivity function and conservation practices through monitoring and identification of problem areas and calls for alternate appropriate and energy efficient methods and practices. The following paper depicts how Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS can be effective and economical tools for Resources management on sustainable basis. |

AVSWAT- A Spatial Decision Support System for Land and Water Management and its Application for Watershed Management in Bankura District of West Bengal by Debapriya Dutta
In the present study, AVSWAT tool was applied in digitally delineating watersheds in a block of Bankura district of West Bengal and then it was used for estimating potential water, silt and crop yield from each of them. This would be helpful in prioritising the watersheds and presenting the results spatially for the district level decision makers. |

Identification of Suitable Sites For Water Harvesting Structures In Upper Betwa Watershed Through WARIS by Rajashree V Bothale
Present study conducted in upper Betwa watershed of Betwa basin uses decision support system
"WARIS" for identification of suitable sites for water harvesting structures. Theme layers viz , landuse / landcover, soil, slope, hydrogeomorphology etc which affect the identification of suitable sites were generated in Arc/INFO environment. The themes were then integrated to generate a composite coverage. A buffer of 1 km around second and third order drainage was constructed. Suitable weights were given to all the categories in each theme. Three suitability zones viz most suitable, more suitable and suitable were generated from cumulative weighted value. Lineament map was also superimposed over the suitability zones. Various water harvesting structures like nala bund, anicuts, farm ponds etc were suggested in the area. WARIS has provided a guided flexible approach for identification of suitable sites making it versatile for any type of terrain. |

Remote Sensing Based Rapid Watershed Health Appraisal - A Case Study of NWDPRA Watersheds of Rajasthan by D. Dutta et.al.
Dry land farming accounts for more than 60% of the cultivated lands which suffers from the vagaries of climate, resulting in periodic crop failure and acute shortage of water. Government of India has accorded highest priority to these areas for holistic development in the form of National Watershed Development Project for Rain fed Areas (NWDPRA). The following study analyzes the performances of the project in eight micro-watersheds, distributed over different agro climatic zones of Rajasthan, in terms of biomass gain, landuse change and changes along drainage line. |
