Abstract:-Analysis of Data for Evaluation of Impact on Watershed is carried out on Indla- Ghatkheda Village. These watersheds are in satpuda region, Amravati, Maharashtra, India. The Data required to calculate the indices are collecting from PhD holder Dr. Sanju S. Vinchurkar thesis from this data we can calculate the indices. From study of Indices, we can conclude that. The drainage area of Indla-Ghatkheda watersheds, are 933 and 539 ha. The Land Leveling Index in Indla-Ghatkheda watersheds attains maximum value of 1.0. The Critical Area Index reported is 0.85. The reported value of Irritability index is 1.39. Poverty Index before the implementation of project was 30 which decrease to 16 after completion of project. It is a very good impact of project on the level of poverty The Regular Employment Generation Index of Indla-Ghatkheda village found to be 255.31 after completion of watershed project. The Human Development Index Reported for the Indla-Ghatkheda watershed is found to be 1.03; the runoff conservation index for indla village is 47%. And the total runoff conservation index for ghatkheda village is 17%. The assessment of soil erosion has been carried out in Indla-Ghatkheda and Masod watersheds. Out of total area 7.3 sq km. area has soil loss range is less than 0.20tons/ha/year categorized as very low erosion area. 6.4sq.km. area has soil loss range between 0.21 to 0.45 tons/ha/year. 3.1 Sq.km area has soil loss range between 0.46 to 0.84 tons/ha/year. It is observed that, approximately 1 Sq.km area have soil loss range between 1 ton to 4.56 tons per ha/per year the induced watershed eco index found to be 0.192%. The Carrying Capacity Index reported for the Indla-Ghatkheda and Masod watershed is 1.33. These are all the ranges we can observed while calculating the Indices.
