| description | ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to identify potential runoff storage zones based on the various physical characteristics of the Vishwamitri watershed using a GIS-based conceptual framework that combines through analytic hierarchy process using multi criteria decision-making method. The conceptual framework will help to identify potential runoff storage zones for water storage sites based on the various physical characteristics (rainfall, slope, land use/land cover, height above the nearest drainage, stream order, curve number, topographic wetness index) of the watershed. It was found out that 17% of the area is optimally suitable, 33.2% of the area is moderately suitable, 33.1% of the area is marginally suitable and 18.7% of the area is not suitable for water storage zones/structures. Results will help concerned authorities in the proficient arrangement and execution of water-related plans and schemes, improve water shortage, reduce dependability on ground water and ensure sustainable water availability for local and agricultural purposes in the study area. |
