7.RESULTS
The capability of the high resolution satellite data
for digital and visual interpretation in conjunction with village
cadastral maps is studied. This research provides useful
information for creation of digital micro watershed atlas for
management and protecting the area which has number of
tanks and river channels for irrigation which will be flooding
during high rainfall.
Cartosat satellite stereo and LISS IV merged data is
expected to have it's intensive use in water and land resource
management for creation of GIS of micro watersheds in
fluvial and aeolian basins.
The need of using steam orders, micro water sheds
and their codification based on codification principles of
Dr.A.N.Khosla from the water shed atlas web site of Tamil
Nadu is studied in detail for further research in Australia.
Australia may also consider for delineation and
codification of the watersheds using high resolution stereo
satellite data to map streams of 14'^ and higher orders.
The availability of 2.5 to 0.5 m high resolution data
makes morphometric and hydrological analysis with less
dependence on mathematical or regression models which has
been in use as all data base is in 1:50000 scale.
If micro water shed codification is adopted it will
enable the water resources managers to use common code no
for watersheds in all states.
The practice of states adopting a list of 500 and
above rivers only with name may be avoided.
The codification based on drainage pattern will
give details on location of the streams. Use of same streams
names for watersheds will avoid confusion in identification of
watersheds.
The micro watershed code nos may become
Federal ID for the streams in GIS data base and can be used
by federal and state Governments to fund, monitor and
management land and water resources projects as done in
Tamil nadu India.
If Australia starts using GIS of Micro watersheds
based on Stereo satellite data it will open a new avenue for
research as micro information on land forms and watershed
hydrology. Accurate information from Micro watershed GIS
will be available to manage the land and water issues.
