Objectives of study :
The present study using R.S & GIS technology to clearly identify the water bodies, depletion of water levels in catchment area. To perform if then analysis and to find the amount of volume changes in the inflow. To suggest some measures to improve the water levels in reservoir area. To assess the effect of variation in the discharge to the d/s of the reservoir.

Geographical location.
Mudasarlova is a large water tank located at a distance of 5 km from (vsp). Mudasarlova Cheruvu which is fed by the springs originating from Kambalakonda and Kailasa Hill Ranges. Area under study covers 17.38 sq.kms lies between1745 N to 17 47 30 N latitudes and 83 15 E to 83 20 E longitudes falling in survey of India toposheet numbers 65 0/1 and 0/2 on 1:25,000 scale.

Identifying the problem: Major drains of the reservoir were disturbed, because of the extensive road network. Location of the habitations surrounding the reservoir Drastic changes in the topography, rainfall fluctuations. The present yield from this source is 0.4 MGD, but required demand of water is 300 MLD. Silting of the reservoir.

Data used:
1) Geographical location of reservoir(toposheet ). 2) Total no of reservoirs. 3) Total water demand of Visakhapatnam city. a. Inflow-outflow. b. Quantity of water supplied to treatment plant. 4)Population &water demand for domestic &industrial purpose(2008-2038). 5) Rainfall details. 6) Water levels of the reservoir, catchment area. 7) SRTM (shuttle remote techno-Machine) data. 8) Climate data, population growth

Proposed Methodology
1) Base map preparation(Geo referencing). 1) Digitization. 1) Digital elevation model. 2) Three dimensional view.

Methodology
1) Base map preparation(Geo referencing).
 projection system(lat/long,UTM WGS84)  ground control points(GCP)

2) Digitization.
 Thematic maps of the study area such as road network, drainage network, contour map, watershed boundary were prepared using open jump.

2) Digital elevation model.(SRTM data was downloaded and projection system was converted) 3) Three dimensional view.

conclusions :
 The water bodies have been decreased to due to Mudasarlova Reservoir according to the satellite data. This surface data has been proven to be very informative and useful for surface study, especially in detecting surface features and characteristics such as lineaments and land use.  Mudasarlova Reservoir was constructed for making water supply to Visakhapatnam Municipality. At present 0.4 million gallons per day water is being drawn from the reservoir to Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation.  Forest area was reduced and area of the scrubs was increased.
