ABSTRACT = {Soil
degradation, water shortages, falling efficiency, rising temperatures, and
societal decline are some of the issues that land, the most essential natural
resource, faces today. Since rainfed regions in India are so pervasive and have
so much promise for increasing agricultural yields via improved utilization of
resources, they must be developed as quickly as possible. Adopting a
comprehensive watershed management plan that integrates human involvement in diversifying
natural assets to support overall societal growth is the most effective method
for handling these rainfed regions. Conducting a complete land resource survey
is the first and most important stage in establishing a watershed control
program, which is then followed by careful planning, efficient execution, careful
monitoring, and exhaustive assessment. Our study included a comprehensive LRI
at a scale of 1:3960 of the Dwarkeswar Micro-Watershed in the Puruliya region
of West Bengal. Soil type, underlying land use, topography, climate, and
vegetation were all considered in this exhaustive survey. We identified and
mapped ten physiographic units and nine different soil series over the examined
region. We created an organizational unit map that serves as a powerful tool
for efficient land use development by using these criteria and considering the
current socio-economic situation and requirements. This map may effectively
drive the watershed management strategy.},
