This study characterizes the micro watersheds in the Palar sub-watershed using morphometric analysis and assesses its risk by land use and land cover features in a particular micro watershed. Palar sub-watershed is divided into 6 micro watersheds for prioritization based on morphometric and land use analysis. Several morphometric parameters （linear, shape and relief） are determined from the drainage map; ranks are assigned based on their capacity to induce erodability and degradation. Final ranking is based on the composite index calculated from the sum of the ranks of each morphometric parameter. Morphometric analysis reveals micro watersheds 5 and 6 as most susceptible and 2 and 3 as low susceptible. Land use is mapped using IRS ID LISS III satellite data. The risk in terms of watershed degradation involved to each micro watershed is based on the ranks of each land use feature, obtained from a similar composite index as that of morphometric analysis. Land use analysis shows that micro watersheds 2 and 4 fall under high priority category while 5 and 6 under low priority category. Integration of the morphometric and land use analysis shows that only microwatershed 1 falls under the same category in both analyses. Control measures are suggested to contain degradation depending on its specific land use pattern and morphometric features. This study ean be used to prepare a comprehensive watershed plan for the development or for planning resource conservation strategies, by integrating land use features with the drainage characteristics of the region, in particular for a hill ecosystem as the prioritization is at micro level.展开更多

Groundwater has been heavily exploited largely for agriculture from the shallow gravel, sand and silt aquifer in the basin. Drastically declining water levels, up to 10 m in some areas, has been observed within the past decade, creating difficulties with lift irrigation for the local farmers. Therefore, the Department of Groundwater Resources, Thailand, considers that groundwater artificial recharge may be useful for recovering the static water levels within the most hydrogeological suitable areas. The objective of the paper is to rank the suitability of sub-watershed in the Lower Yom River Basin for conducting a pilot-scale testing of MAR （managed aquifer recharge） by ponding system. Hydrogeological and non-hydrogeological parameters were used to formulate the site selection criteria. Boolean logic and Fuzzy logic were used for delineating the 19 sub-watersheds in the Lan Ba watershed. Detailed hydrogeological investigations were conducted in the 10 most prospective sub-watersheds. Of these, the Nong Na 3 sub-watershed covering an area of about 500 hectares was determined to be the most appropriate site for the MAR pilot construction and testing.展开更多
