The document presents a thesis on modeling and analyzing watershed dynamics using a cellular automata (CA) and Markov model at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. It outlines the methodology used to generate land use/land cover databases, evaluate socio-economic and biophysical drivers, and predict future changes in the Choudwar watershed over the next decade. Results indicate significant land use changes, with a focus on generating a management plan to mitigate adverse effects on watershed dynamics.
