| Article Name : | | | BASIN MORPHOLOGY AND LAND USEWITH SPECIAL REFFERENCE TO PANCHANOI RIVER BASIN, A MICRO WATERSHED OF MAHANANDA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA | | Author Name : | | | SUBHADIP GUPTA | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-2126 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Micro watershed is defined as a small watershed, in which a certain number of families live, make use and manage the resources of the area, mainly the soil, water, vegetation,including crops and native vegetation, and fauna, including domestic and wild animals. From the operational point of view, the micro watershed has an area that may be planned by a technician counting on local resources and/or a number of families that may be treated as a social nucleus that shares some common interests and here the use of land is very much associated with the local physiography and that is why the study about land use should give emphasis on the relief characteristics. The present paper is based on a small river basin and its changing land use. So here it is very important to study about the drainage morphology as a whole or especially on that particular area where the changing tendency of land use has already been recognized. At the same time it is also to be noticed that the land use pattern may also be affected by the anthropogenic effect. So it is also very necessary to give stress on the anthropogenic factors associated with the basin area. | | Keywords : | | |
