Abstract

Land use change initiates significant impact on the stormwater characteristics including hydrograph, infiltration, discharges of the catchment, etc. An extensive literature review suggests that rapid urbanization is the root cause for such alteration in stormwater features. This paper presents a field-based study to investigate the influence of land use change on the hydrological characteristics in a region situated in northeastern part of India, namely, Kakodonga Watershed, Jorhat, Assam. The hydrogeological and stormwater characteristics of the region are ascertained by means of field and laboratory tests and the data collected are rigorously analyzed to carry out the study. The evapotranspiration demand has also been investigated by incorporating various analytical models. The important and relevant conclusions are drawn from the entire work.
