    Abstract: Application of ArcGIS for estimation of basin potential(a case study-Kharun river basin, Chhattisgarh, India) has been presented in this paper. The objective of the present work is to find out the balance water available in the basin after assessing the present water use including industrial water demand and projected water demand to be fulfilled by Kharun river. Water resources of the world in general and India are under heavy stress due to increased demand and limitation of available quantity. Sustainable water management of a river basin is required to be made to ensure a long-term stable and flexible water supply to meet crop water demands as well as growing municipal and industrial water demands

    Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most simple and straightforward way of providing a management tool for planning of water allocation policy in irrigation system. ArcGIS application which allows user to access information and spatial analysis and produce results in the form of maps, tables and graphs to support planning and decision making.

    The Arc GIS software is used for analysis. Scanned toposheets were georeferenced. Various thematic layers such as basin boundary, river, drainage, raingauge station, G&D sites, district boundary, schemes and anicuts location map were generated by digitization. The raingauge stations in and around Kharun river basin were considered for analysis. Theissen polygon is generated using raingauge station layer to find out the influencing area and the influencing factors of each raingauge station and by considering the annual rainfall and the influencing factor of each raingauge station, weighted rainfall is computed . Pathardih G&D site is considered for runoff analysis. The rainfall-runoff relation is established. This equation was linear in nature. 75% dependable rainfall is calculated and basin yield is also calculated. Balance water available is 710.32MCM.

    1. Introduction

      Water is one of the most important natural resources and a key element in the socioeconomic development of a state. Water resources of the world in general and India are under heavy stress due to increased demand and limitation of available quantity. Proper water management is the only option that ensures a squeezed gap between the demand and supply. Sustainable water management of a river basin is required to be made to ensure a long-term stable and flexible water supply to meet crop water demands as well as growing municipal and industrial water demands. Water resources structures need appropriate planning to ensure fulfillment of the goals of water management.

      Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most simple and straightforward way of providing a management tool for planning of water allocation policy in irrigation system. ArcGIS application which allows user to access information and spatial analysis and produce results in the form of maps, tables and graphs to support planning and decision making. It also allows to make queries to the database in order to extract an answer for the future planning under wide range of different scenarios. The benefits with the use of ArcGIS in watershed and hydrologic analysis include improved accuracy less duplication, easier map storage, more flexibility, ease of data sharing, timeliness, greater efficiency and higher product complexity.

      Water resources development and management should be planned for a drainage basin as a whole after assessing the present water use and projected water use .

    2. Study area

      The study area, KHARUN RIVER BASIN forms a part of Seonath (A tributary of Mahanadi) river basin.The area selected for the study is the Kharun River Basin and is situated inside the Seonath basin of well known Mahanadi river basin in Chhattisgarh(India) . Entire study area of Kharun river basin falls within the state of Chhattisgarh. Kharun is one of the main tributary of Seonath river. It is a non-perennial river, originating from village Petechua of Balod Tehsil in the south-east of Durg district and after flowing about 164 km joins Seonath river near Somnath in the north. The total catchment area of Kharun river is 4191 km2, lying upstream to the point where the river merges with Seonath river and is situated between the geographical co-ordinates 200 33 30 – 210 33 38 N latitude and 810 17 51 E – 810 55 25 E longitude. The gauge and discharge site of Central Water Commission on the river Kharun at Pathardih, comprises an area of 2511 km2… The gauging site Pathardih is located at 210 20 28 N latitude and 810 35 48 E longitude. The study area falls in four districts viz.

      Durg, Dhamtari , Raipur and Kanker covering 1978 km2, 517 km2 ,1684 km2 and 13 km2 areas respectively (Table 2.1).

    3. Methodology and Analysis Step wise methodology is as follows:

  1. Collection of hydrologic data and details of existing, ongoing schemes .

  2. Georeferencing of scanned toposheets.

  3. Digitization of maps.

  4. Delieation of basin.

  5. Creating different layers.

  6. Making attribute table for each layer.

  7. Generating Theissen polygon.

  8. Computation of weighted rainfall.

  9. Computation of 75% dependability.

  10. Computation of annual runoff.

  11. Establishing rainfall runoff relationship and computation of runoff coefficient.

  12. Computation of Yield of Basin

  13. Calculation of total CCA created.

  14. Computation of present water use.

  15. Computation of Balance water available. 3.1DATA COLLECTION

The annual and monsoon runoff data were obtained from Central Water Commission, Raipur, Chhattishgarh .Rainfall data, details of schemes, toposheets were collected from Water resources Department, Govt. of Chhattisgarh.

    1. COMPUTATION OF AREA AND INFLUENCING FACTORS OF INFLUENCING RAINGAUGE STATIONS.

      Area and influencing factors of influencing raingauge station were calculated and shown in Table 3.1

    2. COMPUTATION OF WEIGHTED RAINFALL

      Weighted rainfall is computed by considering the annual rainfall and influencing factor of the each raingauge station. The annual rainfall from 1975 to 2008 is generated for all raingauge stations. Considerig the rainfall of each station and influencing factor raingauge station, weighted rainfall has been calculated .Initially 95% is considered monsoon rainfall of total rainfall.(shown in table 3.2)

    3. COMPUTATION OF ANNUAL AND MONSOON RUNOFF

      Annual and monsoon runoff of every year were calculated and shown in Table 3.3

    4. ESTABLISHING RAINFALL RUNOFF RELATION

      Rainfall and Runnoff relationship for annual and monsoon were established and shown in Figure 3.3

    5. COMPUTATION OF 75% DEPENDIBILITY

      75%dependable rainfall and 75%dependable monsoon rainfall were calculated. (shown in table 3.4)

    6. COMPUTATION OF YIELD

      By using Runoff rainfall equation runoff coefficient was calculated and Basin yield is also calculated(shown in table 3.4)

    7. COMPUTATIO OF PRESENT WATER USE AND BALANCE WATER AVAILABLE CCA created, water use by anicuts, annual industrial water demand and projected annual water demand to be fulfilled from kharun river and Present water use and Balance water in the river basin is calculated(shown in table 3.5)

  1. Result

    Water resources potential of the Kharun river basin is being exploited through one medium and many minor irrigation schemes, and also by constructing anicuts/ stop dams. The present analysis of water use and water available shall be helpful for proper planning and management of water resources in Kharun basin.Water use in any basin depends on the precipitation in that year and changes year to year .The demand of water for various purposes such as irrigation, industrial, domestic have been increasing day by day therefore the comprehensive strategic planning for integrated use of water resources is essential. Water resources development and management should be planned for a drainage basin as whole taking into account of surface and ground water considering the quantity and quality aspects as well as environmental aspect.

    The result obtained from the present study can be summarized as below:

      1. Annual Runoff coefficient of the basin is 0.329 MCM per Sq.Km. CA(Table 3.4)

      2. Annual Basin Yield is 1378.60 MCM(Table 3.4)

      3. Present Water Use including industrial water demand and projected water demand to be fulfilled from Kharun river is 668.28 MCM(Table 3.5)

      4. Balance water available in Kharun river basin710.32MCM(Table 3.5)

        In the present study, balance water available has been computed by considering the yield generated in the basin and present water use including industrial water demand and projected water demand to be fulfilled from Kharun river.

        Balance water available =Yield generated in the basin – present water use including industrial demand and projected water demand to be fulfilled from Kharun river.

  2. Conclusion

The demand of water for various purposes such as irrigation, industrial, domestic has been increasing day by day, therefore, the comprehensive strategic planning for integrated use of water resources is essential. Water resources development and management should be planned for a drainage basin as a whole after assessing the present water use and projected water use. The approach of present study is to develop Water Resources database using modern techniques such as Arc GIS for the whole basin. The benefits with the use of Arc GIS

includes improved accuracy, less duplication, easier map storage, more flexibility, greater efficiency.Surface runoff and stream flow are characterised by large variability from one year to another. The variability of precipitation also results in variations in the use of water from year to year, therefore comprehensive basin wide approach is essential for water management of a river basin.
