The Gundal sub basin which lies in the extreme south of the Mysore district of the Karnataka State India is in the crossroads of agriculture development. With the aid of the geo spatial tools and techniques, the Present research helps to find the influence of geo morphometric and climatic conditions on the overall planning in the Gundal basin. To formulate the geo spatial situation of the basin into a meaningful scientific oriented approach, linear, areal, and relief aspects of morphometric have been considered along with the Climatic conditions like temperature, precipitation, and Humidity factors. The geo-informatics tools such as Arc Hydrology, watershed delineation, IDW, SRTM data set and NASA climatic dataset have been used. Based on the derived results a micro basin has been studied to unveil the controlling factors posing strong impediments to the development.</p>

      <p id="paragraph-3194a600531f4f8483d031b4f8a2aeb7">Geo morphological character and climatic condition are two significant interdependent elements of Geo physical condition. The climatic factors effect on exogenesis activity of a geographical region. The negative variation of climatic condition in the Past years of Gundal sub basin emphasizes the Geomorphologic hazard namely, Land degradation, drought, high evaporations, low precipitation, groundwater depletion, drinking water scarcity, soil quality contamination, deforestation, low agricultural production, and yield variations. Therefore, present study aims to understand the geomorphic and climatic condition through assessment of precipitation, temperature, slope gradient, morphometric character, and Geological features. Both geo-morphological and climatic conditions have been Considered for identification of micro level impediments using geospatial technology in Gundal sub basin.</p>

      <p id="paragraph-24b36e8c03f84ad197f858bfca7f8196">A scientific study of geomorphic and climate condition for micro level identification of impediments is the Gundal sub basin is the main purpose of the present research and slope, geology geomorphology land use and land cover soil types considered for basic assessment of land. The analysis indicates that average slope condition is &lt; 10 degree and in southern part of the Gundal basin the terrain is Moderately dissected with Hills and valleys. The dissected hills act as the impediment on the free flow movement of the southwest monsoon winds and there by reduces the rainfall in Gundal sub basin. Another impediment for the low rainfall and negative land carry capacity of the land is due the water divide line which bifurcated the stream orders into two. The north sloping streams forms the Gundal Sub basin and the south and southwest gradient forms Moor River basin. This basin has taken away the major portion of the catchment toward the Kerala state. Thus, Gundal sub basin region is fed with low rainfall catchment area with negative impact on the region.  </p>
      <p id="paragraph-b28e9ac39b98458ebe121731c5b04be2">Peninsular gneisses are major type of geology found in the region. Due to its non acquiferous character, it has promoted deep ground water and the quality of ground water is also not potable in many areas of the Gundal sub basin. With regard to the Land use and land cover aspect, most of the area covered by cropland and mono crop system. Due to scarcity of rainfall the ground water irrigation is common in the region. Moreover, the unscientific cropping system followed with overuse of insecticide and pesticide has drastically reduced the soil quality condition in the Gundal sub basin. The Morphometric aspect wise selected factors weighted overlay assessment emphasizes that the gradient from south to north direction is decreasing and in the northern part of Gundal basin there is high concentration of bifurcation ratio. This result defines that area is geophysical controlled structure by drainage pattern. Whereas the mid part of the Gundal sub basin has moderate affected drainage pattern and in south Gundal sub basin Normal morphometric condition is seen without significant negative or positive controlled geology physical aspects. </p>
      <p id="paragraph-ae25c5528eef4d06b8492fc8876cf1b8">Pertained to the climatic aspects such as, precipitation temperature, solar radiation, and pressure the south Gundal sub basin possess normal condition. In the north Gundal basin these factors are showing negative impact. </p>
      <p id="paragraph-22926e3659f347419800a13e6367b088">On the basis of the results obtained the basin has been identified into highly sensitive area, which comprises 80 % of the basin area, and another 20 % of the area possesses high rank with moderate to Normal condition which is the result of climatic impediments. The Morphometric impediments assessment provides that, 39.90% of total area has low rank and highly effected condition. Another 27.77 % of total area has moderate rank and moderately affected condition. Remaining 32.22% of total area has normal affected condition. </p>

      </title>
      <p id="paragraph-f8bdc6dd6cf945d08bcec9b56293752f">The overall research shows that the mid and northern part of The Gundal sub-Basin unveil more impediments of climatic and Geo-Morphomertic condition, whereas the southern portion of the basin is normally affected with less climatic and geo morphometric impediments. Therefore, the crop suitability planning taken meticulously focused on sustainable water resources management. Another major threat in the regions is overuse and abuse of ground water. The dug bore well in the region has erratically sucked the ground water resulting into dire consequences such as desertification and upcoming human migration due to fall in the carry carrying capacity of the land. Land environment management action plans need to be taken as immediate measure. </p>
