The land resource inventory of Kamanuru-1microwatershed 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 these physiographic
delineations 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 749 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 68 per cent is covered by soil, 28 per cent by rock out crops and four
per cent by water bodies, settlements and others. The salient findings from the land
resource inventory are summarized briefly below
 The soils belong to 11 soil series and 33 soil phases (management units) and 5 Land
management units.
 The length of crop growing period is 150cm)
soils.
 About 19 per cent is sandy (loamy sand) at the surface, 34 per cent loamy (sandy
loam and sandy clay loam) and 15 per cent has clayey (sandy clay) soils at the
surface.
 About 36 per cent of the area has non-gravelly (
