Application of RS and GIS in Water Resources Management

Remote Sensing and Geographic Information system (GIS) techniques are being effectively used as tools in defining the basin geometry. Integrated Results of morphometric analysis (MA), SYI model, USLE model have been used to prioritize watersheds and to locate sites for water harvesting structures in Savli and Kalol taluka, Gujarat, India are identified and considered for the study purpose. The location of water harvesting structure on natural drainage is directly depending on soil erosion intensity and ranks of micro- watersheds.
