Along these lines, it is critical to building up any available means to supply water to maintain human life, for example, overflow gathering approach. The present paper carries the study of SCS CN methods of runoff estimation. Runoff is estimated for the 20 years for Sub-basin of Rajkot district. The Sub-basin and slope are delineated with the help of ASTER DEM in ArcGIS. The Sub-basin is selected which has maximum rain gauge stations. The Curve Number (CN) is a hydrologic parameter used to depict the stormwater flood potential for Drainage territory, and it is a component of land use, soil type, and soil Moisture. With the use of GIS integration and different thematic maps (Land use/Land cover, soil map, and slope map) Runoff volume can be found out. Landsat picture was converged with land cover data to make land use and land spread (LULC) depict. Yearly overflow quantity is gathered subject to the yearly precipitation surplus and spillover coefficient per pixel using a raster calculator in ArcGIS. Weighted curve number has been resolved so as to locate a representative curve number by incorporating attributes of different topical maps like LULC and Soil in ArcGIS using the area of LULC and soil types as weighted factors. Again the result by SCS CN method is compared with the rational formula and runoff coefficient method.

The action is taking place though various provisions of Swachh Bharat Mission launched in the nation. The paper discusses about a study undertaken for auditing and assessing pay and use public toilet and urinal blocks located within the central zone of Surat Municipal Corporation administrative limits. All the pay and use toilet blocks and urinals were visited for a study that was focusing on assessment for criteria concerning – Cleanliness, housekeeping, safety and maintenance. Inventories were prepared, and quality assessment was performed. All the locations were geotagged by obtaining coordinates. Based on the study, the facilities were assessed for its components and provided with ranking through analysis of four factors and 74 sub-parameters. The qualitative issues were identified for the service delivery. Suggestions and recommendations are discussed to improve the service delivery.

As a result, drought hydrology has been receiving much attention. A variety of concepts are applied for assessment of drought. In this paper, SPI and Deciles have been use for assessment of the drought for Patan district. For the assessment of drought, Precipitation data of three stations are used. For finding out the indices "DrinC" software is used. By using the SPI-3, SPI-4,SPI-5 and SPI-6 wet and dry period can be compared. Also by applying the concept of declile the drought prone years have been found.

developed T. P. Schemes of Surat under the GTPUD Act,
1976. Land use and width of road along with existing
parking facilities have an impact where the act has no
specific provisions. Study identifies Parking consumes 0.1%
- 2.46% road land at intersections.
