Abstract

The study of water resources within a watershed is important to conserve water and maintain a balance between the demand for water and the availability of water within the watershed. Because of the growing population, economic development, urbanization, and industrialization, pressure is increasing on natural resources to meet the present demand for water. This paper is a review of the catchment area of the Indrayani River Watershed in the Upper Bhima Basin in Pune, Maharashtra, India. This area shows rapid Industrialization and fast Population growth, as per the census. This area is near the 5-Star MIDC of Talegaon Dabhade, so future water demand will increase day by day. We need to study Land use and land cover (LULC) patterns to understand past and current development of areas to avoid future water crises with the help of RS and GIS software. The assessment of Land use and land cover change (LULCC) helps identify the human influence on the natural environment.
