Remote sensing and GIS for identification of suitable sites for soil and water conservation structures

Abstract: Formulation of a proper watershed management plan requires reliable and up-to-date information about various factors such as morphologic (size and shape of the watershed, drainage parameters, topography), soil and their characteristics, land use, and land cover, etc. that affect the behavior of a watershed. Satellite based remote sensing technology and GIS meets both the requirements of reliability and speed and are ideal tools for generating spatial information needs. In this study, a locale-specific watershe… Show more

“…At an early stage of morphometric analysis application in prioritization of sub-watersheds, Biswas et al [12] employ ten morphometric parameters: three of them are basin geometric parameters such as area (km 2 ), perimeter (km), and basin length (km); four linear parameters (bifurcation ratio, drainage density (km/km 2 ), stream frequency (no/km 2 ), and texture ratio). Similarly, Pandey et al [16] utilize six morphometric parameters: two linear (drainage) parameters (bifurcation ratio, drainage density (km/km 2 ); two shape parameters (circularity ratio, elongation ration); and two relief (steepness) parameters (ruggedness number, and relief ratio). Later, elaboration on morphometric application with respect to prioritization of watersheds is carried out by several researchers [17]- [22].…”

“…Rojanamon et al (2009) proposed a new method for selecting feasible sites in the Upper Nan River basin, northern Thailand, for small ROR hydropower projects using GIS technology. Pandey et al (2011) employed remote sensing and GIS techniques for the identification of suitable sites for soil and water conservation structures for the Karso watershed, Hazaribagh, India.…”

“…Steep slope with short slope length causes less erosion as compared to gentle slope with long slope length (Wischmeier and Smith 1978). During monsoon, the elevated area having steep slope causes quicker depletion that results in peak discharges in the lowland areas that causes less inundation; therefore, was given lower rank for inundation zonation (Pandey et al 2010). The general slope of the Ken-Betwa link command Fig.…”
