Prioritisation of miniwatersheds based on Morphometric analysis using GIS
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, the eighteen miniwatersheds of Kadam watershed of Middle Godavari sub basin (G-5) have been prioritized using GIS based on morphometric analysis. The highest Bifurcation ratio is found to be 11.95 for 4E3C5a. The Maximum values of Circularity ratio of 0.642 and Drainage density of 3.510 have been found in Lothuvara miniwatershed. The Maximum values of Stream frequency of 7.25 and Texture ratio of 15.81 have been found in Dorlavagu miniwatershed. Ranks have been assigned to each parameter based on their value with highest value as I rank and the rank values of all parameters have been cumulated to obtain compound parameter. Priorities are arrived at based on compound parameter values. The miniwatershed with the lowest compound parameter value is given the highest priority and vice versa. Allampalli vagu (4E3C4f), Gangapuram vagu (4E3C4h) and Batkamma vagu (4E3C4g) miniwatersheds have been found to be under high priority.

Prioritization of sub-watersheds is very important and necessary in order to implement soil and water conservation practices. This study has prioritized 13 sub-watersheds based on morphometric and land use characteristics using RS and GIS techniques in Haraz watershed to identify erosion-prone sub-watersheds. Morphometric characteristics including bifurcation ratio, drainage density, stream fre...

Abstract This paper presents a robust approach using artificial neural networks in the form of a Self Organizing Map (SOM) as a semi-automatic method for analysis and identification of morphometric features in two completely different environments, the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians” (Central Europe) in a complex mountainous humid area and Yardangs in Lut Desert, Iran, a hyper...
متن کاملHouse of Improvement Model to Enhance Prioritisation of Solutions in Decision Making: a Case Study
The decision making on selection of improvement solutions was one of the obstacles hampering the success of process improvement. This paper presents the House of Improvement (HOI) model as a guideline to link decision criteria for the prioritisation of improvement solutions. Three phases in the HOI are applied to facilitate selection and to ensure that suitable and value-added solutions are cho...
متن کاملIdentification of Gyrodactylus gurleyi in Carassius auratus using morphometric and molecular characterization
BACKGROUNDS: Gyrodactylus is a small monogenean ectoparasite that lives on the skin and fins of most of the world's fish species. Gyrodactylus appears to be one of the most prevalent parasites found in ornamental fish, especially in Cyprinids. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are a popular ornamental fish that are highly contaminated by Gyrodcatylus. OBJECTIVES: The present study is aimed to identi...
