Abstract
Osmanabad district as a whole is facing draught conditions for several decades. The northern region of Osmanabad city has high elevated land, but the villages like Alni, Kumalwadi, Sonegaon, Bhanasgaon, Gad Devdari, and Jahagirdarwadi is facing water scarcity. In the last few decades, the water demand and the availability of resources have been studied in detail for the present study area. The water-retaining structures constructed in the region are also analyzed for their suitability test, and validation of the region or location has been made during the studies. The initially constructed structures in this area are about 7 in number. But the suitability test has shown contradicting results. Knowing the availability and demand ratio of the study area, a detailed analysis is carried out. The geophysical survey found favorable sites for the construction of the check dams to enhance the water management in this studied micro watershed. The conclusions of the present studies stated that the regional watershed needs to be split into mini and micro watersheds to encourage the perfect watershed management. Kumalwadi, the Alani region needs to have more percolation tanks, and this will enhance the low-lying regions of Sonegaon, Bhanasgaon to have more irrigated regions.
