Abstract :

Integrated watershed management requires a host of inter–related information to be generated and studied in relation to each other. Remote sensing techniques provide valuable and up –to date information on natural resources. GIS with the capability of integration multilayer information obtained both from remote sensing and other conventional source has proved to be effective tools in planning for watershed development. The ground water prospecting map has been prepared considering major controlling factors, which influence the water yield. The map depicts Hydro geomorphology coupled with hydro geological and structural/ lineament which have proved to be very effective tool to discern ground water potential zones. The High Resolution Satellite Data is IRS –P6 LISS–IV is used for quick and useful base line information on the parameters like Geology, Drainage, Geomorphology, Land use/land cover, lineaments etc. controlling the occurrence and movement of ground water. The present study is aimed to use the above mentioned maps prepared by integrating remote sensing with ERDAS and GIS software‘s as an efficient tools to target the ground water prospects in the study area.

The study area Darweshpuram Watershed is located in South West direction of the district of Nalgonda, Telangana State, India. Main aim is to evaluate the impact on soil and water conservation measures on changes of land use of watershed and on water yield from the watershed, using soil conservation methods. The present study is totally the development of natural resources in micro level for each survey no, for the purpose of agricultural and area development.
