Morphometric Analysis and Prioritization of Sub-Watersheds in Watershed of Nashik, Maharashtra of Godavari River Basin Using Remote Sensing and GIS As a Tool International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) ISSN: 2278-3075, Volume-9 Issue-4, February 2020 Morphometric Analysis and Prioritization of Sub-Watersheds in Watershed of Nashik, Maharashtra of Godavari River Basin using Remote Sensing and GIS as a Tool. Gaurav Kumar, Pratibha Warwade, Gulab Mukund, Nitish Dhaked, Shailesh Suman Abstract: Hydrological analysis and for the integrated I. INTRODUCTION development of the watershed, it is essential to do geomorphometric analysis. A comprehensive study of drainage A naturally occurring hydrological unit which is generally pattern, topography, and most essential erosion status can be defined by its natural boundaries and designated by similar analyzed through morphometric analysis. Prioritization of climatic, physical and topographic conditions is known as a sub-watersheds according to the capacity of the water table of watershed. It is an area from which runoff from precipitation Nashik district watershed was evaluated by linear, aerial and relief flows through a single outlet and ends in large rivers lakes and aspects. The morphometric analysis has been used for the prioritization of seven sub-watersheds of the Godavari river basin the ocean. It is generally classified based on its geographical in the Nashik district, Maharashtra. Using the Digital Elevation area. The Watershed Atlas, prepared by AIS LUS (1990), Model, the sub-watersheds were delineated in ArcMap 10.4 and which describes the area of the watershed as being less than also few extraction works were done in Erdas Imagine. Drains 500 km2 (±50%).The (National Remote Sensing Agency and their corresponding characteristics including stream length, (1995) has further categorized the watershed as stream order, stream frequency, circulatory ratio, texture ratio, compactness coefficient, elongation ratio, form factor, drainage sub-watershed (30–50 km2), mini-watershed (10–30 km2) density, bifurcation ratio is analyzed and their value has evaluated and micro-watershed (5–10 km2) [1]. for each sub-watershed by using the Remotely Sensed-data and Hence, the watershed is generally regarded as an ideal unit geospatial techniques. Finally based on morphometric behavior for the planning, management, and conservation of natural the priority has been given to each sub-watershed & rank has resources, i.e., land, water, forest, soil, etc. It is also used for assigned to them, the most sensitive sub-watershed is identified. the alleviation of the impact caused by natural disasters on The reveled analysis says stream order ranges from 1 to 6. The overall stream segments of all order are 1,115 in the watershed. achieving sustainable development. For the development of On the account of morphometric analysis prioritization of watershed some notable features required for its design such watershed is done. Resulting prioritization rank assigned to each physiography, geomorphology, drainage, land use/land cover, watershed based upon the evaluated compound parameter given soil and available water resources. Watershed management to them. Those Sub-watersheds having least compound parameter aims for the proper utilization of water, land, soil, forest value has assigned the highest priority. Further, sub watersheds accordingly categorized into three type i.e. high (3.4-3.8), medium resources of a watershed to meet the optimum production (4.0-4.2) and low (4.4) priority based on their maximum priority along with minimum hazard resources [2].The prioritization score (4.5) and minimum score (3.4). of sub-watershed is done based on morphometric analysis by using techniques of remote sensing and GIS. A lot of works Keywords: Geo-morphometric analysis, Prioritization, Remote has already been done on the prioritization using these sensing and GIS, Watershed techniques. Remote sensing & GIS are two of the essential tools that are widely used for the watershed management, development, and studies on prioritization of sub-watersheds.

Nashik district also is Godavari River is originating from Trimbakeshwar Range known as wine capital of India. District has three seasons within the watershed (study area) which exists in the Nashik mainly summer (April-June), monsoon (July-September) and District of Maharashtra State. Study area belongs to the winter (October-March). The rainy season occurs due the south-west monsoon (July-September). The average high rain-fed region of the country which lies between Northern 0 0 0 temperature of district is 37 C while the average low Latitude 19 35’6” to 20 10’46” and Eastern Longitude 0 73028’37” to 7407’38” while holding an area of 2615.17 km2. temperature is 10 C.

Slope The particular slope map portrays the digitized formulate slope from DEM data which is prepared using spatial analyst tool in ArcGIS toolbox and the slope has been taken in percentage moving from north to south in the map as shown in figure 2(c). During study we found moderate to the strong slope (10-30%) with a very gentle slope (3-9%) in the north and extremely steep (46-100%) in the south. Also, on moving from east to west in the particular map we observe very gently (3-9%) towards the east while moderate with a strong slope towards west. Termination, the range of slope varies from gentle slope (3-8%) to very gentle slope (2-9%) imitated by some flatlands. The morphometric parameters for devise watershed are calculated by the formulae given by scholars Figure 2(a): - Location Map of study area The district holds a population of about 61 lakhs (Registrar General, India 2011) in which 58.67% population is urban.

  • An Updated Checklist of the Orchids of Maharashtra, India
    LANKESTERIANA 18(1): 23–62. 2018. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v18i1.32699 AN UPDATED CHECKLIST OF THE ORCHIDS OF MAHARASHTRA, INDIA JEEWAN SINGH JALAL* & J. JAYANTHI Botanical Survey of India, Western Regional Centre, Pune – 411 001, Maharashtra, India *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A checklist of the Orchidaceae of Maharashtra is presented based on herbarium collections and recent botanical explorations. This list comprises 32 genera with 106 taxa. The best represented genus is Habenaria with 23 species, followed by Dendrobium with eleven, Eulophia and Oberonia with seven and Peristylus with six. In Maharashtra, the total endemic orchid species are 41 spread over in 13 genera. Of these 30 species, six species are endemic to Peninsular India and five species are endemic to India. Generally orchids are found in the nine major habitats in Maharashtra of which the best representation was observed in the semi-evergreen forests (55 species) followed by moist deciduous forests (48 species), high altitude rocky plateaus (26 species) and dry deciduous forests (25 species). Flowering, habit, habitat, endemic status and distribution in Maharashtra are presented in the checklist. KEY WORDS: India, Maharashtra, orchids, Western Ghats Introduction. The Maharashtra state of the Western (1907) described 31 genera and 75 species of orchids India is known for its flowering plant wealth was from Bombay Presidency. Subsequently, Blatter and explored since 18th century by Law, Graham, Nimmo, McCann (1931a, b, c, 1932) revised the orchid flora Sykes, Jacquemont, Gibson and Dalzell, followed of Bombay Presidency and documented 132 species by Birdwood, Nairne, Hallberg, Acland, Cooke, under 37 genera including many endemic orchids.
