Abstract: Water is one of the essential natural resource, without which life cannot exist. Demand of water isincreasing with the increase of population. We need water for agriculture, industry, human and cattle consumption.Therefore it is very important to manage this very essential resource with sustainable manner. Hence, we needproper management and development planning to restore or recharge water where runoff is very high due to varioustopographical conditions. The Runoff estimation method is one of the significant RSGIS tool for prioritization ofmicro watershed. Soil Conservation Service Runoff Curve Number is a quantitative descriptor of the land use/landcover, soil complex characteristics of watershed and its computed direct runoff through an empirical relation thatrequires the rainfall and watershed co-efficient namely runoff curve number. The SCS Curve Number approach torunoff volume is typically thought of as a method for generating storm runoff for rare events and not for waterquality design. The parameters were obtained with the help of Erdas, Arc GIS and MS Office. The methodologyadapted from SCS method for the seasonal runoff estimation for each micro-watershed is how much prioritized.Using last three years rainfall data and estimate three years runoff than compare the three years priority level andprepared by final priority map. The results revealed that the micro watershed priorities are shows five categorizesvery high, high, medium, low and very low priority.

1. Introduction:
A watershed is an ideal unit for management of naturalresources that also supports land and water resourcemanagement for mitigation of the impact of naturaldisasters for achieving sustainable development. Thesignificant factor for the planning and development of awatershed are its physiographic, drainage,geomorphology, soil, land use/land cover and availablewater resources. Remote Sensing and GIS are the mostproven tools for watershed development, managementand also the studies on prioritization of micro-watersheds development and management.Morphometric Analysis could be used for prioritizationof micro-watersheds by studying different linear andaerial parameters of the watershed even without theavailability of soil maps, (Biswas et al. 1999).
Water is one of the essential natural resource, withoutwhich life cannot exist. Demand of water is increasingwith the increase of population. We need water foragriculture, industry, human and cattle consumption.Therefore it is very important to manage this veryessential resource with sustainable manner. Hence, weneed proper management and development planning to
restore or recharge water where runoff is very high dueto various topographical conditions. If propermanagement is planned that will not only controlsurface soil erosion but also recharge ground water.Remote Sensing and GIS have become proven tools forthe management and development of water resources.Several studies have been carried out worldwide andthey have shown excellent results. Due to advancementin satellites and sensing technology, it is possible to mapfiner details of the earth surface and provide scope formicro level planning and management. The study areathat is taken has severe water crises during the summerseason. The terrain is highly undulating with very highrunoff which causes minimum recharge of ground waterin spite of 1750 mm average annual rainfall. This highrunoff also causes the erosion of very fertile soil.
The present study aims at for the identification ofsuitable sites for check dam construction byprioritization of micro watershed based onMorphometric analysis using Remote sensing data andGIS overlaying techniques. This study is mainly helpfulfor the increasing agricultural based livelihood and alsoto supplying the greater level of irrigation facilities.

1.1 Study Area:
The study area has been taken is a part of Silai RiverBasin in Simlapal block of Bankura district part of West
community development block is in Khatra subdivisionof Bankura district in West Bengal state, and it isbounded by the Khatra block in west, Taldangra blockin north, Sarenga block is south and also covered westMidnapur district in east. The geographic area of thisblock is 309.20 Sq Kms (119sqmile or 1144.04
Fig1: Location Map of Study Area
2. Methodology:
The methodology can be divided into two parts one israsterization and other one is vectorization. Therasterization involves creation of mosaicking, sub-set ofimage, image enhancement and land use/ land covermaps etc. The vectorizations process involves creationof vector layers like; administrative boundaries (i.e.block and village boundaries), watershed boundaries,drainage layers etc. The drainage layer was digitizedusing Arc/Info tools. The stream ordering was given toeach stream is Using Arc Info software by followingStrahler (1952) Stream ordering technique. Stream orderis a measure of the position of streams in the hierarchyof the tributaries, the first order stream which have notributaries. Certain limitations were followed invectorization of micro-watershed to maintain thephysical area 5-10 Sq Kms. Supervised classificationtechnique was used to generate the land use/land cover
map. (Fig-4). The study area is covered by 73J/13 &73N/1 Survey of India topomaps on 1:50,000 scale andIRS LISS III & IV satellite imagery with 23.5 and 5meter resolutions, which was acquired on 17th February2003 and 21st January 2007 with path and row of107/56 & 102/56 ware used as source data. IRS LISS-IV Data was geometrically corrected with reference toalready geo-corrected IRS LISS-III Data keeping RMSError within the range of sub-pixel and geo-referencedimage generated using nearest neighborhood re-sampling method. The Lambert Conformal Conicprojection was used with Everest datum for the geo-referencing. An AOI (Area of interest) layer of the studyarea was prepared and applied to IRS LISS-IV data forextraction of the study area. Finally, the study area wasdivided total 77 micro watersheds. The entiremethodology which has been adopted in this study isexplained in the flow chart (Fig-2).

2.1 Drainage & Watershed Delineation:
The drainage layers was digitized using Arc Info toolsfrom FCC of LISS-IV data and then Updated using theResources at (LISS-IV) data because of the high spatialresolution data with multispectral bands, and asubstantial increase in the number of drainagescompared to the LISS-III data. All drainage layersmainly 1st order streams will be validated to the SRTMDEM data. To generate the DEM layer which is betterinterpreted to drainage behavior and its patterns throughvisualization viewer (Figure6) and also validated theSOI reference maps of 1:50000 scale.
The stream ordering was given to each stream is UsingArc Info software by following Strahler (1952) Streamordering technique. Stream order is a measure of theposition of streams in the hierarchy of the tributaries,the first order stream which have no tributaries. Streamordering technique is determination hierarchicalposition of a stream with in a drainage basin (Table: 1).

The drainage pattern formed the basis for divided intoriverbanks, sub-watershed and micro-watershed. Thetexture of drainage pattern and its density not onlydefine a geomorphic region but also indicate its cycle oferosion. The properties and pattern of a drainage basinare dependent upon a number of classes i.e. nature,distribution, features. The quantitative features of thedrainage basin and its stream channel can be dividedinto linear aspect, aerial aspect and shape parameters.The study area was divided into 22 sub watershedshaving an area of 30 to 50 Sq kms and each subwatershed is further divided into micro-watershedhaving an area of 5 to 10 Sq kms or less the 5 Sqkms onthe basis of drainage pattern and its texture.

2.2.1 Runoff Estimation Method Using CN method:
The SCS curve number approach to runoff volume istypically thought of as a method for generating stormrunoff for rare events and not for water quality design.As typically utilized with the assumption of average
appropriately analyzed to study the mois ture conditionof each micro-watershed. SCS (Soil Conservation
Service) is to be used with GIS to estimate the runofffrom each Micro-Watershed. The CN method is alsoknown as hydrological soil cover complex method. It iswidely used for runoff estimation of Micro-Watershed.SCS CN model carried on some parameters namelyhydrological soil groups, daily rainfall data, landuse/land cover features. Soil Conservation Service(USDA, 1985) Curve Number method is a well accepttool in hydrology, which uses a land condition factorcalled the Curve Number. This curve number is takenbased some important properties of catchments namelysoil type, land use, surface condition, and antecedentmoisture conditions, and also some desirable curve

2.2.3 Land Use & Land Cover Classification:
A NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)indices was performed to derive the class in the forestarea and water-bodies. As all the LISS IV scenes wereacquired in the different time interval hence, each wasseparately used for NDVI and then des ired classes weresliced while clubbing other classes. Final NDVI mapwas overlaid on the classified image to represent theclasses which were not considered during the supervisedclassification. A supervised classification technique wasadopted with maximum likelihood algorithm. Due carewas taken in generating the signature sets for the desiredclasses and where validated with the error of omissionand error of commission. Wherever, overlapping ofsignatures was found, new sets of signatures weregenerated to improve the classification of LISS -IVimage. Basic visual and digital interpretation parameterswere followed like; tone, texture, shape, size, pattern,location and association for the recognition of objectsand their tonal boundaries. Further refinement wascarried out in the classified image with filtering andrecoding of few classes. The final classified outputimage was assigned 13 classes (Table 3).

2.2.4 Defining Hydrological Soil Groups:
A soil and its moisture condition are very important inrunoff estimation and universal soil loss model forprioritization of micro watershed and water resourcemanagement and land resource management. Soilproperties influence the relationship between rainfalland runoff by affecting the rate of infiltration. NRCSdivides soils into four hydrologic soil groups based oninfiltration rates (Groups A,B.C and D). The hydrologicgroups can be derived by soil texture and soil taxonomicconditions.
Group A: Well drainedGroup B: Moderate to well drainGroup C: Poor to Moderate drainedGroup D: Poorly drained
Group A: Group A soils have a low runoff potential dueto high infiltration rates even when saturated (0.30 in/hrto 0.45 in/hr or 7.6 mm/hr to 11.4 mm/hr). These soilsprimarily consist of deep sands, deep loess, andaggregated silts.
Group B: Group B soils have a moderately low runoffpotential due to moderate infiltration rates whensaturated (0.15 in/hr to 0.30 in/hr or 3.8 mm/hr to 7.6mm/hr). These soils primarily consist of moderatelydeep to deep, moderately well to well drained soils with
moderately fine to moderately coarse textures (shallowloess, sandy loam).
Group C: Group C soils have a moderately high runoffpotential due to slow infiltration rates (0.05 in/hr to 0.5in/hr or 1.3 mm/hr to 3.8 mm/hr if saturated). Thesesoils primarily consist of soils in which a layer near thesurface impedes the downward movement of water orsoils with moderately fine to fine texture such as clayloams, shallow sandy loams, soils low in organiccontent, and soils usually high in clay.
Group D: Group D soils have a high runoff potentialdue to very slow infiltration rates (less than 0.05 in./hror 1.3 mm/hr if saturated). These soils primarily consistof clays with high swelling potential, soils withpermanently high water tables, soils with a clay pan orclay layer at or near the surface, shallow soils overnearly impervious parent material such as soils thatswell significantly when wet or heavy plastic clays orcertain saline soils .
The soil map of the study area was digitally convertedand geo-referenced with respect to study area. Differentsoil groups were derived in GIS environment and laterthey were merged in 3 classes (A, B and D) according totheir taxonomy and hydrological parameters, land useclasses. Figure- 8 and 9.

2.2.5 Antecedent moisture condition:
Water content present in the soil at a given time. TheAMC value is intended to reflect the effect ofinfiltration on both the volume and rate of runoff. AMCis an indicator of watershed wetness and availability ofsoil moisture storage during the rain. The soil
conservation service developed three antecedent soil-moisture conditions and named as AMC-I, AMC-II,AMC-III. Table 4 gives seasonal rainfall and dormantrainfall limits, soil conditions for these three antecedentsoil moisture conditions. The AMC condition I curvenumber is dry condition in can be denoted to CN-I,

2.2.6 Estimation of S:
The parameter S depends upon characteristics of theSoil-Vegetation-Land (SVL) complex and antecedentsoil moisture condition in a watershed. S is related tothe curve number. The Soil Conservation Serviceexpressed S as:
The equation 4 is valid only for otherwisevolume of runoff VQ = 0 where P is rainfall and S iswatershed storage. If P is greater than 0.2S thancalculate the volume of runoff of each micro-watershedotherwise the volume of runoff is always zero.
2.2.7 Runoff Estimation:
Using the hydrological soil groups A, B and D, land useclasses to create the curve number. Based on the landuse classes and hydrological groups and CN are using inabove equation-1, the composite and average curvenumber was found. This composite CN is the value ofAMC-II, Using this CN is above equation 2 & 3 thendetermine the CN from AMC-II and AMC-III. Thevalues of curve number for the all three antecedentmoisture condition are listed in Table-5.
To calculate the runoff estimation of each micro-watershed by applying the hydrological equation.
The equation depends on the one variable P and oneparameter S. where P is the value of rainfall and S is theWatershed storage.
