Use of GPS • Map Location of Water Resources • Create Map of Village with Water Resources • Use the created Map for Planning. • Map help to resolve water fullfillment
Exercise Performed • Identify the sample water resources in village • Map their location using GPS System. • Use the Map to plan.
Exercise Performed….Contd. • Map Created:- • Identified the compound where water is needed • Identified Water Resources around the Compound (marked in Red) • Next Stage: To plan water from identified resources in compound
Using GPS instrument to map the area and available water bodies
Exercise Performed….Contd. Map Created using GPS Receiver. Pts 16 – 19 – Location of compound Pts 20 – 23 – Location of water resource.
Exercise Performed….Contd. Data Collected Using GPS Receiver
