Abstract - Water is a crucial natural resource and its
RS is particularly useful for deriving information about objects on the earth's surface without physical contact, and its high resolution and temporal data make it an essential tool for sustainable development of natural resources, including water resources. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a model used to predict the impact of land management practices on water, sediment, and agricultural chemical yields in large, complex watersheds. The SWAT model uses hydrological parameters such as daily rainfall, temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, humidity, land use, soil characteristics, drainage network, and topography to simulate evapotranspiration, runoff, stream flow, sedimentation, and more at a watershed scale.
availability is being threatened due to factors such as population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and deforestation. To develop and implement water resource projects effectively, it is important to have an accurate assessment of the quantity and quality of water resources at a watershed level. This can be achieved through the use of advanced technologies like Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). In this context, a detailed study has been undertaken to assess the water resources of the Suvarnamukhi watershed in Tumkur district, Karnataka state. The area falls under a semi-arid climate zone and has no perennial streams. The region primarily relies on groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes, and the failure or delay of monsoons has led to a significant depletion of dug wells and bore wells in many villages. Additionally, there is a lack of data on the availability of natural resources, demography, and infrastructure, which has hindered developmental activities in the region.
Therefore, a detailed study using advanced scientific tools like GIS, RS, and the SWAT model has been conducted to assess the status of water resources in the Suvarnamukhi watershed in Tumkur district, Karnataka state. The study provides an effective use of GIS and RS for analyzing the quantity and quality of both surface and groundwater at the watershed level, which can help optimize water resources development and management.
To address these challenges, an integrated hydrological study is necessary at the watershed level, using advanced scientific tools like GIS and RS.

Key Words: Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS), Water Resources Development, watershed level etc.
1.INTRODUCTION Water is a crucial renewable natural resource, but its availability with good quality and quantity in the right location and time is crucial. Despite being widely available, only a small amount of water is useful for human needs, which highlights the importance of an accurate assessment of water resources at a watershed level. This requires studying and analyzing hydrological processes in the watershed over a long period, using advanced scientific technologies to develop accurate models. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are powerful tools that can play a vital role in inventorying and analyzing various natural resources for decision-making on water resources development and management.

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool for capturing, storing, manipulating, querying, analyzing and displaying data, which are spatially referenced to the earth87. GIS can play an important role in inventory and data base handling of various natural resources to carryout spatial analysis and overlay analysis of wide range of applications. GIS has the capability to integrate, superimpose, spatial query and analyse the various themes of the watershed for decision making on water resources development and management. Remote Sensing (RS) is the technology of deriving information about objects on the surface of the earth without physically coming in contact with them62. RS with its high platform sensing, synoptic view and spatial multi spectral characteristics has wide ranges of applications. It has become an integral part of Information Technology and provides solution to facilitate sustainable development of the natural resources in general and
