technology of Remote sensing and GIS.
▪ Treatment Potential Map of watershed is prepared by using various GIS layer
of land slope, land capability, soil erosion ,contours, geomorphology,
lineaments, etc to facilitate village committee to take decision on best suitable
soil and water conservation treatment for particular site.
▪ Shivar Visit by field officers / Villagers with Treatment Potential Map .
▪ Average Rainfall, Runoff, Topography, Availability of Water are major factor
affects preparation of water budget.

▪ Revenue, Agriculture and all line department officers prepare the action plan of
village/taluka.
▪ Availability of Water in existing structures, Rejuvenation of old structures, Construction
of new structures
▪ Major component of Village Action Plan

○ Repairs and de-siltation of existing structures - nature of works, their number and
the fund requirement.
○ To complete existing schemes on priority basis – nature of works, their number
