• To characterize the watershed on the basis of available resources and assessment of watershed developmental activities, policies in the region.
• To develop the indicators that can contribute to integrated assessments of the sustainability of the watershed region
• To determine the watershed integrity index of the studied area and suggest comprehensive plan for conserving and managing the watershed sustainably.
• To identify the susceptibility of multi-hazards in the study area and demarcation of zones which are at high/ very high risks.
• Quantification of disproportionate opportunities of women in watershed and disaster management.
• To identify the multi-hazard induced vulnerabilities and constraints faced in watershed management by the local communities with special reference to women in the area. |
• Multi-hazard susceptibility mapping of the study region will make available essential information about the present and future disasters to people, engineers and planners to mitigate the construction problem caused by natural calamities.
• Proper multi-hazard mitigation plan can be employed with the help of resultant multi-disaster susceptibility map.
• Multi-hazard susceptibility map will help the locals in the study area to understand the current scenario of disaster risk so that they can self prepare them to minimize the loss due to such natural calamities.
• The overall livelihood of the locals in the area will be improved as the outcomes of the study will impart disaster risk related awareness among the people and henceforth facilitate the disaster risk reduction.
• Evaluating the community impacts of multi-hazards shall deduce the information on the risk and problems encountered by locals during and post disasters.
• Identified women vulnerabilities factors shall be useful for the regional disaster management authority to design an effective management plan so that the problems faced by women during and post disasters could be minimized.
• Overall results of the deliverables will be published as scientific paper, report and will be presented in related conferences. .

• Characterization the watershed on the basis of available resources
• Assessment of physiochemical parameters of soil and water in the watershed.
• Watershed integrity index of the studied area.
• Suggestion for comprehensive plan and assessment of roles played by women for conserving and managing the watershed sustainability.
|
• The basic resources estimation of the study area will provide the base line data about the past and present scenario of the watershed.
• Analysis of various water and soil parameters would predict the impact of anthropogenic activities on the watershed.
• Survey and PRA activities would result in the understanding of the gap areas and implementation of strong policies and governance.
• This would result in the preparation of a more comprehensive plan or development of a new index that are vital for managing and conserving the watershed sustainability.
• It would promote financial and food security and improve health and living conditions.
• It would upgrade the women•s input into decision making processes in families, institutions and village life.
• Outcome of the research work will be the part of PhD thesis. |
