INTRODUCTION
The physical characteristics of a watershed such
as morphology, soil and land use influence the
hydrologic response of a basin.
Malik et al. (2011) used GIS to obtain the watershed based drainage
morphometric analysis of lidder catchment in kashmir valley.
Morphometric analysis was carried out at the watershed level. Various linear
and areal aspects of the catchment were computed at watershed level.
Mir et al.(2016) Analysed the Land Use/ Land Cover Change Using Remote
Sensing and GIS Techniques in Pohru Watershed of Kashmir Valley.
This study analyses changes in landuse/ cover in the Pohru watershed of
Kashmir Valley.
Gull et al. (2017) used the SWAT Model Analysis to estimate the runoff and
sediment yield of lolab watershed.
Mir et al.(2017) prepared a detailed Land degradation map using different
remote sensing and GIS techniques combined with ground survey for Pohru
watershed.
The study indicated moderate to severe degradation of land resource has taken
place in the area.
DATA REQUIRED
1. Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
2. Hydro-metrological Data
3. Satelite Imagery
4. Soil Data
