It is of great need to delineate the catchment area in the form of sub watershed areas to find out the characteristics easily. It is possible to develop using geospatial technologies due to temporal and spatial variations. Automatic delineation of watershed is time consuming when compare to manual method. With the development of Geospatial technology, automatic extraction of watershed details became very popular. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data can be considered as input data to delineate catchment area and drainage network using GIS. ArcHydro is an add-on tool in ArcGIS software, which plays a vital role in building any hydrological information system for the support of hydrologic modeling in water resources development. In ArcHydro model, there are many sequential dropdown tools available, which are to be properly followed in order to delineate...

This research paper on which it is based emerged out of common and yet distinct concerns among the authors that spatial information technologies at least in certain contexts and at certain scales alter the complexion and distribution of power. In order to test and refine our ideas about the Image processing and Digital Elevation Model of Geographic Information Technology in the mapping of Landslide areas, we carried a research case study of part of Tirumala Hills, A.P. The landslide activity is related to the following causative factors like slope, geology, land use and rainfall etc,. Thematic maps were prepared for the factors land use, slope and lithology, which were described and exchanging by using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The land use map was derived from the image processing technique called 'supervised classification' which is completely generated based on the spectral signature values of the satellite image; the slope map was derived from the digital elevation model (DEM) and the lithology map was derived from the analysis of image interpretations elements. Vulnerable mapping was prepared by integrating the effect of various triggering factors. Digital image processing involves the manipulation and interpretation of digital images with the aid of computer. The digital image data became widely available for land remote sensing applications. The central idea behind digital image processing is quite simple. The image is fed into a computer one pixel at a time. The computer is programmed to insert these data into an equation, or series of equations, and then store the results of the computation for each pixel. These results from a new digital image that may be displayed or recorded in pictorial format or may itself be further manipulated by additional programs. The objective of image classification is to replace visual analysis of the image data with quantitative techniques for automating the identification of features in a scene. This normally involves the analysis of multispectral image data and the application of statistically based decision rules for determining the land cover identity of each pixel in an image. When these decision rules are based solely on the spectral radiances observed in the data, we refer to the classification process as spectral pattern recognition. An attempt has been made to suggest suitable remedial measure for the highly vulnerable zones by generating the factors from the algorithms of image processing.

The distribution of water is not ubiquitous in quality and quantity across the globe. Its accessibility is a fundamental part in socioeconomic development and poverty reduction (UNESCO-WWAP 2006). Water on Earth goes through an immense Hydrological Cycle of transformation from one form to the other, liquid to gaseous vapour and solid ice from the earth to atmosphere and back in various forms of precipitation. The demand for water is increasing in geometric progression all along the population growth (Gupta and Deshpande, 2004). Maintainable improvement is the best technique for development and advancement of which watershed shapes the fundamental unit in water asset arranging especially in Semi Arid Tropics. Numerous seepages in semiarid and parched regions are vaporous, containing running water occasionally, in light of precipitation, and not really consistently. "Buggavanka" is one such seasonal tributary to Pennar river basin of southern India. "Bugga" stands for "Spring" and "Vanka" for "Stream" in vernacular language Telugu. Watershed is defined as a Geohydrological unit where all of its water gets collected at one point called as outlet. Springs are one of the most fascinating and classic sources of water to the wild as well as nearby villagers within the Watershed. The Classic definition of spring according to Meinzer (1923-48) is "A spring is a place where, without the agency of man, water flows from a rock or soil upon the land or into a body of surface water". In Buggavanka watershed all of the water both runoff and spring water joins with "Buggavanka" stream. In the present paper an attempt is made to identify the methodologies for augmenting life of the springs and their discharge within the watershed of the Buggavanka stream, in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India. Geospatial Technology assumed significant part in handling the vast majority of the voluminous geospatial information with a work to carry the review with environmental, segment and comprehensive methodologies. The field visits and review accentuated for the definite Geohydrological study and participatory way to deal with bring back the magnificence of water stream according to individuals living inside the Buggavanka watershed.

The earliest bricks were dried which are formed from clay or mud. During 2007 the new fly ash bricks were created using by products from coal plants. A sustainable development is an important task to the cement industry. To avoid cement as a huge construction material to reduce the environmental issues, replaced with Fly ash, GGBS, Silica fume, Kadapa slab powder. For bonding polymers, limited water content is used. Hence, resulting hybrid geo-polymer brick with multi-material combination is effective. In this experimental approach, initially we were considered 75% and 25% Fly ash and GGBS respectively as a base and then varied silica fume and kadapa slab powder ranging from 2 to 5% in GGBS. Mechanical properties of the materials are giving effective values to replace. Through compressive strength results we can find optimum proportions based on silica fume and kadapa slab powder.

It is of great need to delineate the catchment area in the form of sub watershed areas to find out the characteristics easily. It is possible to develop using geospatial technologies due to temporal and spatial variations. Automatic delineation of watershed is time consuming when compare to manual method. With the development of Geospatial technology, automatic extraction of watershed details became very popular. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data can be considered as input data to delineate catchment area and drainage network using GIS. ArcHydro is an add-on tool in ArcGIS software, which plays a vital role in building any hydrological information system for the support of hydrologic modeling in water resources development. In ArcHydro model, there are many sequential dropdown tools available, which are to be properly followed in order to delineate watershed for the management of water resources. Hence, a comprehensive geospatial model has been developed in Model Builder of ArcGIS software to run the model at a time to complete the process to extract the features like drainage network and catchment area from ArcHydro tool. In the present research, Nandyal area is selected to delineate catchment area and drainage network. 30m DEM data was used for delineation of watershed as input data. The major functions of ArcHydro tool are Flow Direction, Flow Accumulation and determining watershed and extraction of drainage lines.

Past history reveals that landslides are causing dangerous consequences which are causing large scale losses like economy, life and directly affecting the nation's infrastructure. They are the greatest common hazards take place, especially in high mountainous regions. In order to diminish the vast disastrous potential of landslides and to reduce the consequent losses, it is essential to recognize the landslide hazard, the risk should be examined and applicable strategy should be developed at the national level to mitigate the impact of landslide. The present research area, part of Tirumala Hill region of Chittor district, Andhra Pradesh, is prone to landslides, and affecting by landslides from the past several years. In the research study area, an effort made to generate the landslide hazard zonation mapping by using geospatial technologies. In this research, several influencing factors are considered in the preparation of landslide hazard zonation mapping. The major factors are Drainage Density, Geomorphology, Lineament Density, Land Use / Land Cover, Geology, Slope and Elevation. Weighted overlay analysis of geospatial technology is used in the preparation of the landslide hazard zonation mapping of Tirumala hills. The integrated output map exhibits the areas which are prone to occurrence of landslides by means of different zones with the range of vulnerability. The output of Landslide Hazard Zonation map of Tirumala hills is generated with four zones mentioning high, moderate, low and very low vulnerability using geospatial technologies.

The distribution of water is not ubiquitous in quality and quantity across the globe. Its accessibility is a fundamental part in socioeconomic development and poverty reduction (UNESCO-WWAP 2006). Water on Earth goes through an immense Hydrological Cycle of transformation from one form to the other, liquid to gaseous vapour and solid ice from the earth to atmosphere and back in various forms of precipitation. The demand for water is increasing in geometric progression all along the population growth (Gupta and Deshpande, 2004). Maintainable improvement is the best technique for development and advancement of which watershed shapes the fundamental unit in water asset arranging especially in Semi Arid Tropics. Numerous seepages in semiarid and parched regions are vaporous, containing running water occasionally, in light of precipitation, and not really consistently. "Buggavanka" is one such seasonal tributary to Pennar river basin of southern India. "Bugga" stands for "Spring" and "Vanka" for "Stream" in vernacular language Telugu. Watershed is defined as a Geohydrological unit where all of its water gets collected at one point called as outlet. Springs are one of the most fascinating and classic sources of water to the wild as well as nearby villagers within the Watershed. The Classic definition of spring according to Meinzer (1923-48) is "A spring is a place where, without the agency of man, water flows from a rock or soil upon the land or into a body of surface water". In Buggavanka watershed all of the water both runoff and spring water joins with "Buggavanka" stream. In the present paper an attempt is made to identify the methodologies for augmenting life of the springs and their discharge within the watershed of the Buggavanka stream, in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India. Geospatial Technology assumed significant part in handling the vast majority of the voluminous geospatial information with a work to carry the review with environmental, segment and comprehensive methodologies. The field visits and review accentuated for the definite Geohydrological study and participatory way to deal with bring back the magnificence of water stream according to individuals living inside the Buggavanka watershed.
