Check Dam Construction by Prioritization of Micro Watershed, using Morphometric Analysis as a Perspective of Remote Sensing and GIS for Simlapal Block, Bankura, W.B
Abstract
Water is one of the essential natural resources of the whole world, the demand of water used by agriculture, industry, and human and cattle consumption is the increasing rapidly, particularly with the water resources and its consumption will be increasing with the increase in population.
The Morphometric analysis is one of the significant GIS tool for Check dam construction and prioritization of Micro Watershed even without soil map and land use/land cover map. The morphometric parameters depends on the behavior of total drainage system and its refers to spatial relationship among streams or rivers. The parameters were obtained with the help of Arc GIS and MS Office. The results revealed that the Micro Watershed priorities are shows five categorizes very high, high, medium, low and very low priority, Seventeen suitable sites were identified for check dam construction in fourteen highly prioritized Micro Watershed.
