The land resource inventory of Halavarthi microwatershed was conducted using
village cadastral maps and IRS satellite imagery on 1:7920 scale. The false colour
composites of IRS imagery were interpreted for physiography and the delineated
physiographic boundaries were used as base for mapping soils. The soils were studied in
several transects and a soil map was prepared with phases of soil series as mapping
units. Random checks were made all over the area outside the transects to confirm and
validate the soil map unit boundaries. The soil map shows the geographic distribution
and extent, characteristics, classification, behavior and use potentials of the soils in the
Microwatershed.
The present study covers an area of 549 ha in Koppal taluk and district,
Karnataka. The climate is semiarid and categorized as drought - prone with an average
annual rainfall of 662 mm, of which about 424 mm is received during south –west
monsoon, 161 mm during north-east and the remaining 77 mm during the rest of the year.
An area of about 83 per cent is covered by soils, 6 per cent mining/ industrial area, 8 per
cent by rock outcrops and 3 per cent by water bodies, settlements and others. The salient
findings from the land resource inventory are summarized briefly below.
 The soils belong to 9 soil series and 19 soil phases (management units) and 4 land use
classes.
 The length of crop growing period is 150 cm).
 About 38 per cent of the area is having loamy at the surface and 45 per cent of the
area has clayey soils at the surface.
 About 51 per cent of the area has non-gravelly (
