Estimation of sediment yield and runoff from small watersheds using WEPP model - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology
Posted on 30 Jun, 2010 08:44 PMThe study uses Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to simulate the flow and erosion processes in Sallopat watershed of Mahi river basin in Banswara, Rajasthan. The WEPP model is a distributed, continuous, small agricultural watershed erosion model. It can simulate the effects of management practices and land use changes on the spatial and temporal variability of the erosion processes within a watershed system. The major features of this model are the ability to –
- Delineate areas of detachment and deposition on a hill slope or along a channel reach
- Account for the effects of management and land use changes on the erosion process
- Account for the effects of backwater on detachment, transport and deposition processes within channels

Remote sensing based rapid watershed health appraisal: a case study of Rajasthan by national watershed development project for rainfed areas (NWDPRA)
Posted on 11 May, 2009 04:14 PMThis study presents a remote sensing based rapid watershed health appraisal of NWDPRA watersheds of Rajasthan. The study area is distributed across 8 agro-climatic zones ranging from desertic western plain to humid southern and south-eastern plain. The satellite data prior to treatment year (1988) was compared with post-treated year (1996), to reveal the noticeable changes over a span of 8 years.
