Abstract: In India many inter-basin water transfer projects are pending implementation. And hence the spatial and temporal unequal distribution of availability and demand for water persists. Western Ghats in south India, which receive very high rainfall, are the source of water for the west flowing rivers in the region. Considerable quantity of water in the west flowing Netravathi River flows into the Arabian Sea without much utilization in the south west monsoon season. Annual yield from the discharge data measured at Bantwala of Dakshina Kannada district between the years 2003 and 2015 of Netravathi river reveals that the minimum yield is 2187.06 Mm3 (77.18 TMC) and maximum yield is 5502.32 Mm3 (194.16 TMC) for the total catchment area of 3267.71 km2. In the present study involving the analysis and presentation of data collected is used in SWAT model for the assessment of water resource in Yettinahole project area which is a sub basin of Netravathi basin. While in inter basin transfer of the water the environmental conservation and diversity of wildlife habitats issues related to water must be addressed.

Keywords: Western Ghats; Netravathi River; SWAT, Yield, TMC.
