DEVELOPMENT OF REMOTE SENSING & GIS BASED APPLICATION FOR WATERSHED MODELING AND MAPPING - A CASE STUDY OF RANGA REDDY DISTRICT, TELANGANA

D. Narender, K. Suresh Kumar

Abstract :

The present study was carried out to develop watershed management using IRS-ID PAN and LISS-III geocoded data on 1:50000 scale. The information on Base, Drainage, Lithology, Structure, Landuse/Landcover, Slope, Geomorphology and Hydrology maps were generated and integrated to prepare Watershed Modeling concept for the study area. Geographical Information system was used to prepare database on the above layers, analysis of relationship and integrated map preparation. The study area has a complex geomorphology. The result in the form of integrated map could be properly analyzed using the advantage of technology like Remote Sensing and GIS as the methodology included analysis of land/water resources and their interpretation. This type of integrated study is very useful for the decision makers to protect the Natural Resources.
