Watershed Management Stratergy

Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University has carried out several research projects on watershed management strategy using latest software and technology such as MODIS, Swat Hydrological Modelling, GIS and MCDM Approaches. The carried out research projects help in prediction of harmful algal blooms in the coastal waters, assessment of water availability, detection of palaeochannels in river basins, prediction of shoreline recession, prediction of groundwater level and mapping the potential sites for rainwater harvesting structures. The research projects are useful in watershed management which in turn helps in protecting aquatic species available in the specified watershed area.
