Abstract

The present study is an attempt to Determine suitable site for Water Harvesting Structures like check dam,
Gully plugs in Mazum River, Gujarat, India using Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS). The
study area has been facing sever water scarcity due to intensive agriculture for the past few years. The Indian Remote
Sensing Satellite (IRS)-P6 Linear Imaging Self Scanner (LISS)-III satellite imagery of Mazum river basin is used and land
use/land cover classes have been derived from it. ASTER DEM used for the Generating the different thematic maps. The
various thematic maps such as land use map, group map, hydrological soil slope map and drainage map are laid over
each other and five check dams are proposed for construction. Geographical Information System is the technique which is
used for preparation of thematic maps and combining all the layers and performance analysis.
