    OBJECTIVES

    - To characterize terrain

    - morphometric terrain parameters

    - soil hydrological characteristics

    - to prepare land use/land cover map

    - To prioritize sub watershed for conservation planning

    based on

    - Morphometric Indices (MI)

    - Soil Erosion Status (SES),

    - Morgan, Morgan & Finney (MMF) model

    CONCLUSION

    -

    -The watershed divided into 11 sub watershed for soil conservation planning.

    - Land cover map revealed that 37.28 % of area is under cropland whereas

    moderate dense, degraded forest and barren/scrub comprises of 19.31, 16.46 and

    3.27 per cent area, respectively in the watershed.

    -

    - The annual rate of soil loss based on MMF model reveals that

    11.07 % area lies in very low risk of erosion (0 5 t/h/yr),

    5.75 % under low risk of erosion (5 10 t/h/yr),

    33.41 % under moderate risk of erosion (10 25 t/h/yr),

    26.0 % under high risk of erosion (25 - 50 t/h/yr),

    2.92 % under very high risk of erosion (>50 t/h/yr).

    -

    -

    Sub-watersheds were prioritized based on the area falls under various erosionrisk classes for conservation planning.

    -

    -The study demonstrated the use ofRS and GIS in soil erosion risk assessment

    by deriving soil and vegetation parameters required in the erosion models.
