An Efficient Watershed Prioritization Technique Based on Slit Production Prediction Using Remote Sensing Data

Prioritization of watersheds based on soil erosion has evolved to turn out to be an integral part of watershed administration so as to preserve the invaluable resource of Mother Nature. Land administration, Land use, slope, soil, and climate are the most significant elements contributing to soil erosion. Due to watershed heterogeneity, these parameters exhibit spatial variation. Consequently, the watershed is typically divided into small regions demonstrating uniformity. Throughout this analysis, the watershed is divided into numerous smaller ones, and the remote sensing technology revolution was employed as a source of data to get accurate and current information about soil and land use. Topographic maps were used to determine the slope details. The slope, soil, and land-use, were employed in an uncomplicated mathematical formulation to estimate the silt production of each smaller watershed; the smaller watersheds were divided into four distinct groups according to statistics. Examining the benefits due to the usage of remote sensing imagery, it is concluded that 2-5 m data sources are inexpensive. It is also advised to use the same imagery in sediment yield prediction as well as watershed management tasks. &nbsp
