Plan for Locating Water Harvesting Structures in Uppar Odai (South) using RS and GIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
There is a need to establish water harvesting structures, to harvest the runoff water. The traditional method of the site selection process for different measures is a time consuming process however, but the identification of site with the use of GIS (Geographical Information System) makes the process become simple and reliable. The selection of sites for different measures must be based on certain criteria that take into consideration the physical characteristics of the study area. The study area Uppar odai (south) receives a sufficient amount of rainfall, but the entire quantity has been wasted due to lack of water conservation measure. It must be stored, in order to facilitate the users for irrigation and groundwater recharge. This study decided to use the weighted Overlay Index method in a GIS environment, to select the suitable sites, for establishing water harvesting structures.
