STUDY OF BHOPANI BASIN LANDUSE COVER IN UDGIR TEHISIL OF LATUR DISTRICT BY USING REMOTE SENSING AND GIS.

Abstract

Abstract As Latur is world famous for its water related problems. In the present study work for sustainable water management of the physical coverage of Bhopani basin in Udgir tehsil, Latur district is studied. Present study focuses on mapping and monitoring the LULC of the region. In present study cartosat image DEM is used to analyze the drainage pattern. By using supervised and unsupervised classification technique using ERDAS 9.1 and ArcGIS10.1 software the satellite imagery were processed on screen visual interpretation method was done for mapping the land use/land cover of the entire study area. Classes like water-bodies, forest, land, cultivated land, vegetation and settlement were identified by ERDAS 9.1 software. The digital map was then transferred into ArcGIS 10.1 and edited using Arc tool box command. These edited maps wereused further for the analysis of the study area. Finally, landuse pattern of the basin is studied and its proportion is identified. Which is helpful for planning of watershed area in the basin.

Key words:LULC, ERDAS, ArcGIS, Cartosat DEM Watershed Management.
