Vegetation Area Monitoring Through NDVI Technique: A Case Study of Dengei Pahad Micro Watershed, Khurda District, Odisha
Abstract: Watershed treatment includes implementation of participatory micro-watershed-based soil and moisture conservation programs and income generation through proper natural resource management areas. This has led to increased productivity and income. Training and holistic management along with aforestation programs has led to reduction of silt flow to the lake. The assessment revealed that land degradation in the drainage basin not only leads to enhanced silt flow into the lagoon but also causes …

Prioritization of Micro/Mini Watersheds and Identification of Locations to Construct Rainwater Harvesting Structures using Morphometric Parameters and Geoinformatics
Abstract: Nalluru Amani Kere Watershed (NAKW) is constituent of Caveri river basin, Karnataka state, covering 415.68 km2 area, representing arid climate. The NAKW has been divided into thirty one micro/mini watersheds (MWS) of 3rd order, designated as MWS-1 to MWS-31, for the purpose of prioritization. For this purpose, morphometric parameters were calculated under linear and shape aspects. Linear aspects such as; drainage density (Dd), bifurcation ratio (Rb), stream frequency (Fu), length …
