Generated digital databases on various watershed resources from multi-source data for watershed modelling of a hilly terrain.

Extensively utilised the multi-disciplinary knowledge-based rules, in a GIS format, to:
o discriminate the spectrally inseparable vegetation classes;
o assess the magnitude and the severity of soil erosion; and
o generate a treatment-oriented land-use planning scheme.

Identified the critical/priority watersheds, on the basis of sediment yield index values, for preferential soil and water conservation measures.

Developed a systems-approach model on "WATMIS – Watershed Management Information Systems ", an off-the-shelf software, for sustainable development of a hilly watershed.
