Potential Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farm Development Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Abstract: The energy consumption of most developing countries like Ethiopia highly depends on biomass and imported fuels. These sources of energy have imposed severe impacts on the environment.Recently, Ethiopia has begun to harness electricity from renewable energies mainly from hydro- dams to meet its energy need. However, the existing energy production of the hydro-dams declines during dry season due to shortage of river waters. So, it is important to look for …

Analysis of Sedimentation Deposition in Morbe Reservoir by Using RS and GIS
Abstract: The reduce in the storage volume due to sediment deposits in the reservoir at different level over a period of time can be related with the decrease in water diffusion zone at different elevation. This study shows the use of RS and GIS to estimate reservoir sediment deposits. The 2007 original capacity curve of water storage is now used as base for the 2017–18 sediment assessment. The digital processing was …

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Waterbodies in Ranchi District, Jharkhand using Satellite Data: An Input for Jal Shakti Abhiyan
Abstract: Keeping in the view of water conservation the Government of India has initiated the Jal Shakti Abhiyan, which needs the inventory of waterbodies for further planning and monitoring. Lakes and Ponds in year 2005 and year 2018 were mapped in Ranchi district at 1:5000 scale using high resolution satellite data and reservoirs at 1:50,000 scale using moderate resolution satellite data. Seasonal fluctuation in water extent of reservoirs was estimated using …

Estimation of Various Geomorphometric Aspects of Kandra River Basin of Panhala Tehsil, Kolhapur District (M.S.)
Abstract: The term morphometry senses the measurement and analysis of form and its properties. Incontext of geomorphology, which is science of land forms, it is concerned with the variousgeometrical aspects of the landforms. It is inevitable in the study of fluvial geomorphology.Morphometric analysis particularly deals with quantitative measurements of different aspectslike linear, aerial and relief, for instance stream order, stream length, drainage density,drainage frequency, bifurcation ratio, constant channel maintenance etc. Kandra …

Quantification of Sub-Watershed Wise Surface Runoff Using Remote Sensing, GIS and Soil Conservation Services – Curve Number Method, Karur District, Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract: Runoff is one of the significant hydrologic variables used in generally of the water resources applications. The Soil Conservation Service–Curve Number (SCS–CN) method is adopted for the evaluation of surface runoff in the Karur District, Tamil Nadu, India using multispectral remote sensing data, rainfall data and curve number approach. The weighted curve number is determined based on antecedent moisture condition (AMC)-II with an integration of Hydrologic Soil Groups(HSGs) and land …

Erosion and Sediment Yield Modeling with USLE, Arc GIS and SWAT
Abstract: The economy of most of the people in India is mainly based on rain fed agriculture. Theagriculture yield primarily depends on the availability of good productive soil and sufficientquantity of availability of water. In the past, in many areas both were available but recently itis observed that due to various abnormal natural processes and excessive human interferencein the natural processes, the soil layer with nutrient from fertile land is getting …
