Prioritization of tirthan watershed
The present study seeks to prioritize the Tirthan watershed for conservation and management of natural resources on the basis of morphological and land use/land cover characteristics. The study has utilized morphometric information derived from drainage layers computed from toposheets. The relief, slope, aspect and hypsometric parameters have been analysed using ASTER Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with 30 m spatial resolution. To generate the land use/ land cover information, the Google Earth images have been used.
