Introduction
A participatory walk through and Net Planning are the methods adopted to survey and plan area treatments as well as minor drainage line treatments or any kind of interventions to be implemented in each
a nd every Survey number of the watershed in collaboration with the farmers.
The data thus generated is used for collating, organising and analysing data depending upon
needs as well as the kind of information required. It is customized for both the project level
(implementers) as well as the programme level (Managers) for planning, implementing, monitoring and impact assessment purposes.
The software prepares a database of land resources, land ownership by socio-economic classes, soil types, crop varieties, crop pattern, water resources, land use pattern, slope, vegetation etc. And the current status and proposed treatments may also be indicated in this software. It gives micro to macro-level information of the watershed.
This software also helps to prepare demographic details, household category-wise population report, education status, land holding and cropping pattern of the village, livestock details of the village, income and expenditure of families in the village. The information regarding every family in the village can be retrieved in any manner required. Once village information is collected and stored in this software, the software helps to analyse the changes that take place in the
e ntire village as well as in each individual family.
Geographical
layers
Four geographical data layers are provided in this software. These are district boundaries, block boundaries, mazmuli boundaries and village (cadastral) boundaries. From these layers, village (cadastral) boundaries have been created with the help of revenue maps. However, boundaries are indicative instead of exact for the purpose of location and its spread.
Data provided
The district, block and mazmuli boundary layers only have the name of the district, block and mazmuli associated with them. (Other codes should be ignored). The main database is associated with the village (cadastral) layer. In this database, there are some basic data of the village and then the watershed program related data.
The process of developing this software is as follows:
Usually this software provides information related to baseline data like land ownership, soil types, crop varieties, crop pattern, water resources, land in use, slope, vegetation and flora etc. Proposed activities may also be indicated in this software.
