Abstract

Water is the most important natural resource; it is the most basic human need and a valuable national asset. Water is one of nature's most important gifts to mankind. Efficient development and optimized utilization of water resources therefore, is of great significance to the overall development of the country. In Rajkot district (India) the Machhu Dam was built for supplying drinking water to urban areas. The present study on Surface Water Management in Machhu Dam Command Area (Rajkot District) using Geo-Informatics Techniques was carried out in the Aji and Machhu dam Catchment areas, using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite digital data and Geoinformatics technology. The surplus water availability in major reservoirs and dams was computed from the data collected from Flood Control Cell (FCC) government of Gujarat. It was observed from the FCC data analysis, the Machhu river have surplus water during 2007-2011. Therefore, this study on diverting of surplus water through canals, ponds and check dams in the study area was carried out. The remote sensing data and GIS data was used to generate present land use, drainage pattern as well as slope and contour using 3-D technology. This analysis was carried out for diverting surplus water through proposed canal and pond. The result of the study indicate that if the surplus water from the Machhu dam is diverted to the unirrigated areas in Rajkot district, it will definitely improve the agricultural production due to availability of irrigation water through canal. The improvements in agricultural production will help to improve the economical condition of the farmers in the region.
