Abstract
The study area is a part of Painganga River basin in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. It extends between 19°48'56"N and 79°03'43"E, 19048'21"N and 79°0'2"E & 19°44'43"N and 78°52'59"E. It falls on the Survey of India toposheet no. 56 M/1, 56 M/2, 56 I/13 and 56 I/14on 1:50,000 scale. Geologically, the study area is covered by Limestone/shale with limestone bands towards northern part and Deccan lava flows towards southern part. Geomorphologically study area is covered by alluvial plain on the northern part, pediplain on the central part, plateau and denudational hills on the southern part. The whole catchment is divided into five smaller units, as sub-watersheds SW-1, SW-2, SW-3, SW-4 and SW-5. Based on the morphometry, the sub-watersheds have been grouped into three categories, as per priority needs, high priority, medium priority and low priority. SW-1 shows medium priority and remaining SW-2, SW-3, SW-4 and SW-5 shows low priority respectively.
