The eco-socio-economic balance of a region can be preserved by proper land-use planning, particularly in hilly watersheds where erosion caused by rainfall is an ever-present threat. This paper describes a methodology developed to compile a treatment-oriented land-use planning scheme for a hilly wate

## Abstract There is significant evidence of frequent and rapid erosion and fast rates of bank line retreat along the river BrahmaputraβJamuna within Bangladesh. This study is aimed at quantifying the actual rates of bank erosion along the river based on time series analysis of satellite images and
## Abstract Water resources assessment, which is an essential task in making development plans managing water resources, is considerably difficult to do in a dataβpoor region. In this study, we attempted to conduct a quantitative water resources assessment in a poorly gauged mountainous catchment,
A trend of increasing solute (i.e. nitrogen and phosphorus) concentrations in surface water has been observed in the recent past. Solute concentrations have often exceeded the World Health Organization directives on the quality of drinking water. In predominantly rural watersheds of developed countr
## Abstract Aquifers are inherently susceptible to contamination and coastal aquifers in specific are highly vulnerable to sea water intrusion. For efficient planning and management of coastal aquifers in Kayalpattu and Tiruchopuram villages, which extend over 4Β·05 km^2^, it is essential to delinea
