Abstract
Watershed management is a topic of great concern in the areas coming under shadow zone of rain. Watershed management needs the information about the area covered by water bodies and the relative change in the water body area over the years. This information can be obtained from field survey or by remote sensing. In remote sensing the satellite image is classified into a range of types of land covers by land use and land cover segmentation. The area of segmented water bodies is calculated and validated with the ground truth obtained by field survey. Pondhe village in Pune district is taken into consideration in this particular study. The temporal satellite images of this area are classified into various land covers, and area calculation is carried out. The reduction in water bodies and in the vegetation area is observed over the years by 2.94 % and 27.10 % respectively. The same technique can be used for various regions in future to provide change in areas and to establish a link between geology and image processing.
