It is now becoming increasingly important for water resources evaluation in India. Water resources development activities have focused attention on development and application of physically based hydrological models, which was used to simulate the impact of land and water use on water resources. The main objective of this study was to test the performance and feasibility of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model for water balance study and prediction of stream flowin the Upper and Middle Narmada River Basin of India, which can be used for understanding the effects of future development and management actions. To simulate these impacts, long-term daily meteorological data was used.The Sequential Uncertainty domain parameter Fitting algorithm (SUFI-2) of SWAT CUP (Calibration and Uncertainty Program) with multiple sets of parametervalues is used for calibration and validation, over the entire basin.This calibration and validation was done based on the observed daily discharge data from India-WRIS (India – Water Resources Information System).The goal was to bracket most of the estimated data within the 95% prediction uncertainty (95PPU), by getting a significant coefficient of determination (R2) and coefficient of efficiency (NS) between observed and estimated data. The results after post calibration and validation indicates decrease in average annual water yield from 44.83 mm to 36.67 mm and R2 calculated before calibration 0.86 and increases to 0.88 after calibration. The simulation results indicate that relatively small parts of the total basin area have a high impact on the water balance in the catchment. It also indicates considerable reduction in surface runoff from 346.42 mm to 320.91 mm during 1979 to 1987.The results of present work also indicates that the parameter uncertainty is not the sole source of uncertainty; the model structure uncertainty is also important. These processes are mainly associated with the existing large reservoirs regulating the runoff of the River Narmada.

Hydrological parameters such as drainage analysis, topographic parameters and land use pattern were evaluated and interpreted for watershed management of the area. Hydrological module of ARC GIS software was utilized for calculation and delineation of the watershed and morphometric analysis of the watershed using SRTM DEM. The stream order of watershed ranges from first to sixth order showing dendritic type drainage network which is a sign of the homogeneity in texture and lack of structural control of the watershed. The drainage density in the area has been found to be low to medium which indicates that the area possesses highly permeable soils and low relief. The bifurcation ratio varies from 4.74 to 5 and the elongation ratio is 0.58 which reveals that the basin belongs to the elongated shaped basin category. The mean Rb of the entire basin is 4.62 which indicates that the drainage pattern is not much influenced by geological structures. Land use map of the watershed was generated from latest available multispectral satellite data and whole watershed covers under agricultural land, settlement, fallow land, forest, mining areas and water body. The present study reveals that SRTM DEM based hydrological evaluation at watershed scale is more applied and precise compared to other available techniques.

Urban agglomeration is a recent phenomenon in Indian society, which do not accommodate the haphazard growth of human settlements. The main objective of this study was to identify the recent urban changes in Bhubaneswar and its periphery. Bhubaneswar is the capital of Odisha and it was planned in the year 1948. The city could not grow in the envisaged manner as it is surrounded by the Chandaka Wildlife sanctuary in the northwest section and by flood plains on the eastern side. The present study examines the use of Index Based Model for delineation of the urban sprawl of Bhubaneswar city. Index-based built-up index (IBI), is a normalized difference index used for the extraction of built-up land features. The above-mentioned model can be efficiently used by taking three known indices viz. NDBI, SAVI & MNDWI. Satellite imageries of IRS-P6 and Landsat 7 (ETM+) & 8 (OLI) has been used in the study with the efficient use of ArcGIS. The study manifest that, there has decreased in the area under vegetation cover and the increase in the settlements and crop land. It has been found from the study that Index-based Built-up Index (IBI) is a good method to determine the dispersion of built-up land feature in the city, within the slight limitation of the model. The urban development of Bhubaneswar is going in an unplanned manner which have an adverse effect on both human and natural resources. The results of this work conclude that Remote Sensing and GIS techniques can be methodical used in the study of urban agglomeration and its adjoining urban areas.

Urbanization further cause land use and land cover change in any area. Indian cities have not been able to cope with the pressure of industrial development resulting inadequate urban infrastructure. City planning is becoming an important concern to modern India. The integration of Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing acts as an effective tool for estimating urban growth and modeling in the recent years. The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the urban growth of Indore, the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh state of India. Study area is situated on the western section of Malwa plateau, on the banks of the Khan River and Saraswati River. Latest boundary of the city, demarcated by Municipal Corporation of Indore has been used as base boundary for this study, which includes all extended and substantial parts of the city and nearby towns. Built-up area is marked by using the base boundary on satellite imagery of two different time periods. Index-based Built-up Index (IBI), is a normalized difference index, has been used for the extraction of builtup land features with efficient use of ArcGIS software. Pan sharpened satellite imagery of Landsat ETM+ and Landsat OLI_TIRS sensor has been used for the model. Preprocessing of satellite imagery has been done to obtain high quality information from remote sensors. Additionally, high resolution imagery has been used for the further assessment of urban growth. The study demonstrate that Indore had sprawled urban growth during the period 2005 to 2014. It has been found from the study that Index-based Built-up Index (IBI) is a good method to determine the dispersion of built-up land features in the city, within the slight limitation of model. The results of the present work conclude that Remote Sensing and GIS techniques can be efficiently used in estimation and analysing the urban growth trends with respect to the adjoining urban areas.

The image data is vector hence it can’t be used directly for query and analysis. There was a need to collate the data in vector form as well. The elevation data is also extremely important for such studies hence this may also be required.
