Abstract: The identification of Land use and Land cover (LULC) changes in Hemavathi watershed has been attempted in the present study. Satellite imagery for the years 1995, 2005 and 2017 are used in ArcGIS software to generate LULC maps. The result shows changes in land cover over the period. The changes have occurred in the Deciduous Forest, Crop land and Shrub land. The study reveals that there is an expansion in plantations area and built-up land, and there is no Barren land on the watershed.
