Village level maps of population, cultivation, number of wells and water supply Chamrajanagar taluk, Karnataka, used as basic indicators of Godavari basin
Village level maps of total population, number of agriculture families, total cultivable area, number of wells, water supply and overlay maps of these parameters of Chamrajanagar taluk in Karnataka used to assess the cultivation pattern and water availabilty in Godavari Basin. The overlay map of total number of agricultural families vs total cultivable area in ha shows positive correlation in villages having cultivable area above 1219 ha and below 241 ha but in villages with cultivable area ranging between 241 to 1219 a weak correlation is observed. in overlay map of total population and water supply in litres per capita per day (lpcd) water availability is quite low irrespective of the population in the village except for villages with population over 4000.
