Simulation of rainfall runoff process for Khartoum State (Sudan) using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS)

Using geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing integration to determine runoff caused due to rainfall from watershed has performed increasingly attention in recent years. This study was conducted in the Khartoum State. Curve Number (CN) method was applied for estimating the runoff depth in the watershed. Hydrologic soil group and land use maps were generated in GIS Environment. Hydrologic soil groups and...

Classification of transmissivity magnitude and variation in calcarious soft rocks of Bhaskar Rao Kunta Watershed, Nalgonda District, India

Pumping test was used for the appraisal and evaluation of groundwater potential and design of well. Pumping tests of the calcarious sedimentary rocks of Bhaskar Rao kunta watershed area were carried out for twenty five selected bore wells for quantitative understanding of the groundwater for crop water requirement and groundwater use efficiency. The tests were carried out independently for short duration under constant...
