The taluka-level GIS database for Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, is a CD containing a GIS (Geographical Information System) database of the spread of and expenditure on watershed development programmes in 3 states of India, viz., Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
The information is disaggregated to the taluka/tehsil level, and is also broken down by the major watershed development programmes that are being implemented in these states. The GIS-based approach enables easy visualisation of the regional variation in the data.
This database has been put together from government data sources and is entirely in the public domain.
