The class which was digitized in LULC mapping was found that the agricultural land is 80%, land without scrub covers 7.9%, forest land 0.48%. Water bodies such as river 0.5, land 0.92%, tank, lake, and pond is 0.43%, reservoir 8.5% and built up (settlement) is 1.29 % of the total geographical area.

  • Agro-Tourism: a Cash Crop for Farmers in Maharashtra (India)
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Agro-Tourism: A Cash Crop for Farmers in Maharashtra (India) Kumbhar, Vijay September 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/25187/ MPRA Paper No. 25187, posted 21 Sep 2010 20:11 UTC 1 Agro-Tourism: A Cash Crop for Farmers in Maharashtra (India) Abstract Tourism is now well recognised as an engine of growth in the various economies in the world. Several countries have transformed their economies by developing their tourism potential. Tourism has great capacity to generate large-scale employment and additional income sources to the skilled and unskilled. Today the concept of traditional tourism has been changed. Some new areas of the tourism have been emerged like Agro- Tourism. Promotion of tourism would bring many direct and indirect benefits to the people. Agro-tourism is a way of sustainable tourist development and multi-activity in rural areas through which the visitor has the opportunity to get aware with agricultural areas, agricultural occupations, local products, traditional food and the daily life of the rural people, as well as the cultural elements and traditions. Moreover, this activity brings visitors closer to nature and rural activities in which they can participate, be entertained and feel the pleasure of touring. Agro-Tourism is helpful to the both farmers and urban peoples. It has provided an additional income source to the farmers and employment opportunity to the family members and rural youth. But, there are some problems in the process of the development of such centres. Hence, the government and other related authorities should try to support these activities in Maharashtra for the rural development and increase income level of the farmers.

It is a dom- inant single weather element influencing grape vine cultivation. It also becomes a climatic hazard to agriculture when it is characterized with scantiness, concentration, intensity, variability and unreliability. The quantum of rainfall and time of rainy days may be quite sufficient to meet the annual requirement of successful cultivation. In Solapur District average annual is tremendously varies year to year and tahsil to tahsil which is directly affects on agriculture land and also affect human activities in Solapur District. So the present paper try to study analyzes the spatio-temporal variation in Solapur District which is helpful to famers, planners, geographers and scientists.

    International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology (IJEAT) ISSN: 2249 – 8958, Volume-9 Issue-3, February, 2020 Estimation of Water Balance Components of Watersheds in the Manjira River Basin using SWAT Model and GIS Akshata Mestry, Raju Narwade, Karthik Nagarajan Abstract: This study mainly focus on hydrological behavior of The study area includes two watersheds from Manar stream watersheds in The Manjira River basin using soil and water (watershed code-MNJR008 and MNJR011) [19]. These assessment tool (SWAT) and Geographical information system watersheds come under Manjira river which is the tributary (GIS). The water balance components for watersheds in the of India’s second largest river Godavari and flows through Manjira River were determined by using SWAT model and GIS. some parts of Marathwada region. The various GIS data Determination of these water balance components helps to study direct and indirect factors affecting characteristics of selected such as soil data, LU/LC, DEM used as inputs in SWAT to watersheds. Manjira River contains total 28 watersheds among determine water balance components of study area. The them 2 were selected having watershed code as MNJR008 and water balancing components helps in water budgeting, gives MNJR011 specified by the Central Ground Water Board. The brief idea about watershed characteristics, this further can be SWAT input data such as Digital elevation model (DEM), land used to predict the availability of water and so can help in use and land cover (LU/LC), Soil classification, slope and water resource management.[14] weather data was collected. Using these inputs in SWAT the different water balancing components such as rainfall, baseflow, II.
