GIS applications in Integrated Watershed Management Programme

    Recently Govt. of India launches the IWMP(Integrated Watershed Management Programme) on last September'2014.It includes improvement of a watershed and its people's livlihood by proper management of needs.Water conservation is a big deal in drylands of India.But mannual survey in large areas for best water harvesting structure is labor intensive and costly.So we can use GIS based approach for identifying potensial water harvesting sites in different watershed.Using QGIS and ERDAS Imagine I have prepare a Potential Water Harvesting Site Map by different Slope Map,Drainage Line Map,Land Cover Map,Runoff Coefficient Map etc. for a river basin.It can be made for whole India where IWMP can be implemented.
