Abstract: The present work deals with assessing the impact of landuse change on the hydrological parameter (evapotranspiration) of the watershed. To demonstrate the work, the Hathmati River that happens to be one of the most important tributaries of western India is chosen as the study area. The decadal maps of the years 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 have been prepared using the tools as mentioned earlier and the SWAT model is prepared to simulate the watershed. The input weather data is obtained from the state government agencies and the spatial data is extracted from CARTOSAT-1. The result shows that with the change in the green cover and agricultural land of the watershed, the hydrological parameters are affected considerably.
