Abstract
The 231 km long KenBetwa River Linking canal will transfer 1020 hm3 of surplus water from the Ken River to the deficit Betwa River basin The landslide susceptibility zonation map of the river link has been assessed using remote sensing data in GIS Various thematic maps such as geology land use/land cover lineament drainage slope aspect normalized difference vegetation index and soil type were generated from the Landsat Thematic Mapper 5 satellite data of 2005 the Survey of India topographic sheets Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission Digital Elevation SRTMDEM data and other existing maps Numerical rating schemes were used for ranking the thematic layers The results were supported with the rainfall data groundwater level data and a petrological study of rock thin sections In addition to providing valuable information for project decisionmakers the results will assist in slope management and land use planning in the areaLe canal de liaison KenBetwa de 231 km de longueur transférera 1020 hm3 par an d’eau excédentaire du bassin de la rivière Ken vers le bassin de la rivière Betwa La carte de zonage de la sensibilité aux glissements LSZ de la région du canal de liaison a été établie en utilisant des données de télédétection traitées dans un système SIG De nombreuses cartes thématiques relatives à la géologie l’occupation des sols les linéaments le drainage les pentes un indice de végétation normalisé NDVI et les types de sols ont été générées à partir d’images Landsat TM5 de 2005 de cartes de l’Institut géographique national indien de fichiers numériques de terrain SRTMDEM et d’autres cartes préexistantes Des procédés de classement numérique ont été mis en œuvre pour organiser les couches thématiques Les résultats ont été complétés avec les données de pluviométrie les niveaux d’eau souterraine et des études pétrographiques de lames minces De plus afin de produire une information valable pour les décideurs les résultats apporteront une aide pour l’aménagement des pentes et la planification territoriale de la régionThe Authors are very grateful to Council for Scientific and Industrial Research CSIR New Delhi for the Fellowship They are also indebted to the Indian Meteorological Department IMD the National Water Development Authority NWDA and the Central Ground Water Board CGWB for the provision of invaluable information for the study Last but not least the authors also would like to put on record the contribution of the School of Environmental Science JNU New Delhi in facilitating data analysis in its laboratories and of the MEXT Japanese Government Fellowship to pursue research in The University of Tokyo Japan
