Abstract

The Lithology are a significant geographical component of this watershed and are from the stratigraphy of topographical opportunity scale goes under Archean to Lower Proterozoic. The various kinds of geography in the investigation region which incorporates Basal Polymict Conglomerate, Granite(Shimoga), Meta basalt and Tuff Migmatites And Granodiorite - Tonalitic Gneiss, Quartz Chlorite Schist With Orthoquartzite and Ultra Mafic Schist. In the investigation zone, Migmatites And Granodiorite - Tonalitic Gneiss are predominant (453.4 km), Quartz Chlorite Schist With Orthoquartzite happened (89.9 sq km), Granite (Shimoga) (46.9 sq km), Ultra Mafic Schist is (2.1 sq km), Basal Polymict Conglomerate and Metabasalt and Tuff (0.9 sq km). By land use land cover information increment in agriculture ranch 12 to 27 %, forest 5 to 6 % and scrub 1 to 11 % all information from 1991 to 2018.

Keywords: Granite (Shimoga), Lithology, Land Use Land Cover and Forest
