  Water is a primary element for the survival of every living being on the earth. Water management is a point of concern, especially in developing countries due to the lack of proper management and conservation of water. Geographical Information System (GIS) is useful to analyze and evaluate the geomorphological features of any watershed. GIS has developed as a tool for data sharing and collaboration presently being used in its identification, mapping, monitoring, management, analyses, evaluation, strategies and planning in different areas such as alternate land use practices, selection of sites for water harvesting structures for a watershed by integrating thematic information (land use, slope, drainage and soil) with socio-economic and other collateral information (like population, depth of weathering, well and crop inventory). This paper discusses various aspects of GIS for water.. View more»
