Abstract

The SoItoposheet 47 I, Cartosat-2 DEM and Landsat-8 satellite image of the area were used   for planning of MPKV West watershed. Thematic maps such as Base map, Slope map, Soil map,  Land use / Land cover map, Drainage map and Catchment map were prepared.In the drainage  network, high priority for land treatments was found to 1st and 2nd order streams,due to steeper   slopes the runoff generation would have been increased and for water storage structures high  priority was found to 3rd and 4th order streams because of gentle and nearly flat slope. One  farm pond in catchment-A twelve nalabunds are proposed under drainage line treatment in  entire west part. Twenty Four loose boulder structures, especially in upper reaches of first order
streams, are suggested. Under the area treatment continuous contour trenches with plantation  (CCT/deep CCT + Plantation) in 102 ha area are proposed in catchment A to F. Plantation on 67  ha have been proposed in catchment-A and densification of plantation is proposed on 222 ha area in catchment-A.
