Dear All
I am working on the Government-funded project to understand the hydrological and soil behavior of the Gaya district and Bihar state in order to understand the slope stabilities and soil erosion protection.
In this regard, I have collected the infiltration data of nearly 30 blocks and carrying out the rainfall-runoff experiments. Now looking to evaluate the slope stablity on the basis of soil properties and infiltration rate.
Can you please also share the suitable articles to refer for more to do analysis for sustainable development of the region, as the region is known for the agriculture and facing the water scarcity?
Looking for your advice, comments and information.
Regards
Vikram Kumar
as you said You are working on the Government-funded project You can obtain the LULC layers from BHUVAN and Soil from NBSS & LUP
https://bhuvan-app1.nrsc.gov.in/thematic/thematic/index.php
If you have not local or regional datasets, I suggest the following sources on Google Earth Engine, Soil data: https://developers.google.com/s/results/earth-engine/datasets?q=OpenLandMap; LULC: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/COPERNICUS_Landcover_100m_Proba-V-C3_Global
Dear Vikram,
The following links can be useful for extracting soil data and LULC datasets of your particular region. Though I am not sure about the resolution which you require.

Thank you all for your suggestions.....I will look into the suggested links and work on this.......
Nice to see your question , although Gaya and Southern Bihar considered as drought prone region due to monsoon, topography and geology . You also try to develop large scale LULC maps and aquifer characteristics of the area to develop good model for soil erosion management.
Dear Prafull Singh ..Thanks for your suggestion.
LULC map is almost prepared and in the final stage. Can you suggest to me the way to do the aquifer characteristics of the Gaya?
With your experience can you please suggest me the suitable model for erosion in these kind of the region.
Dear Vikram
For Aquifers data and litholog of this area you can contact with CGWB , Patna and you use USLE model .
