Geomorphology and Watershed Management

Water is elixir of life, without it life is not possible. Watershed based study is required for management of sustained use of water and other ecosystem resources. A geomorphic analysis of river basin is essential to solve water scarcity of the arid and semi-arid region through watershed management. This book contains geomorphological approach for sustainable watershed management of the semi arid Yerla watershed, Deccan Trap region, India using geospatial techniques. Author has analysed geomorphological, hydrological and land use - land cover characteristics of study area and presented a model of watershed structures according to geomophology of hilly, plateau and lower reaches micro watersheds. Present work is useful to solve basic water requirement of the region. The book is an essential to all students and researchers of geography, geology and environmental sciences with special interest in tropical world.
