Extensive processing of spatial and attribute data for the study area were performed using GIS technologies for use in WEAP model. DEM for the study area has been created from SRTM data and where Survey of India topographic map was used for validating. Satellite interpreted data for the land use and District level meteorological data were used to prepare the land use and climatic input files for the model run. Various other inputs are used based on field data and experience. With this setup, model was run successfully and the runoff results could be tested against the observed discharged data from the main stream which shows small variation from the model results. Other results could not be verified at field level. However the trend in simulated monthly inflow outflow from the catchment followed the trend in observed rainfall which indicates that the framework can be used for assessing monthly demand supply of the water in the catchment for watershed management and implementation. The model shows alternative results in “what if” questions satisfactorily for deciding more acceptable options for the watershed management purpose.

উঠে আসে সাধারণ মানুষের জীবন, আর ঘুরে ফিরে আসে শিক্ষক ও ছাত্রের ব্যক্তিগত জীবনের কথা, দেখা যায় শ্রডিঞ্জারের বিড়ালকে এক আপাত-বিপরীত বৃহত্তর সমাজ ও অর্থনীতির প্রেক্ষাপটে। আধুনিক জীবনের প্রেক্ষিতে মহা ভারতের অল্প কিছু অংশকে জানার প্রচেষ্টা – সমাজ, দর্শন, মৌখিক ইতিহাসের সহজ সরল প্রতিফলন।
