According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Water scarcity is becoming a serious problem in the Noyyal River Basin due to irregular rainfall and increasing water demand. This study focuses on identifying water scarcity zones using GIS and simple multi-criteria analysis. In this project, factors like rainfall, elevation (DEM), slope, and land use are considered. These data are collected from open-source platforms and analyzed using GIS tools. Each factor is given importance based on its effect on water availability, and all layers are combined using a weighted overlay method. The final result is a map that shows different levels of water scarcity such as high, moderate, and low. This map helps in understanding which areas need better water management. It can also be useful for farmers and planners to improve irrigation practices and use water more efficiently. Overall, this study shows how GIS can be used in a simple and effective way to solve real-world water problems."
