Abstract Soil erosion is a major environmental problem that affects people's livelihoods and health, particularly in developing countries. The present study aimed to identify soil hotspot areas prioritization the Anger River sub-basin for conservation planning. Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) model geospatial technologies were adopted of sub-watershed Key parameters such as rainfall dat...

A two-component model is proposed for perceptual image coding. For the rst component of the model, the watershed operator is used to detect strong edge features. Then, an eecient morphological interpolation algorithm reconstructs the smooth areas of the image from the extracted edge information, also known as sketch data. The residual component, containing ne textures, is separately coded by a ...

karkhe watershed (kw) with more than 5 million hectares recently encountered many problems in the natural, social and man-made habitats. unsuitable use of land, soil erosion and lack of rainfall are the most destructive factors in this watershed affecting the whole region fundamentally. as expected, these problems have caused a considerable fall in biodiversity in fauna and flora, a decrease in...

Rapid urbanization changes the land use/land cover pattern of a developing region. Due to these land surface changes, stream flow of the rivers also changes. It is important to investigate the factors affecting hydrological characteristics of the river basin for better river basin management planning. This study is aimed to understand the effect of Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) changes on stream ...

In this present study, Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques are used to update drainage and surface water bodies to evaluate linear, relief and aerial morphometric parameters and to prioritize the watersheds of the Markandeya River Sub-Basin (MRSB), located in Belgaum district of Karnataka state,India. The Markandeya River Sub-Basin has sub-dendritic to dendr...

The watershed transformation is a popular image segmentation algorithm for grey scale images. Sequential watershed algorithms perform a highly data dependent ooding process over the global image. Parallel algorithms which distribute the image over the available processors and simulate the ooding process have a limited, data dependent speedup. This is due to global data dependencies over the sub...

Traditionally watersheds were spatial extents that capture rainwater. Recently it has been identified that unless the watersheds are not managed in an integrated sustainable manner, then not only the water resources but also other resources such as vegetation, fertile soil, fauna and flora get depleted. Rational management of upper and lower parts of a watershed is equally important for the sus...
