An evaluation for the development work done in the two watersheds, viz. Bunga and Dabkauri in Panchkula District, Haryana was carried out for 2004 and 2007. Satellite digital data of LISS-IV sensor for 2004 and
merge product of LISS-III and PAN for 2007 was used. The data was interpreted for their land use/land cover classes for both the years. The data shows that there is an increase of 33.93% in crop land area. There is a substantial decrease of 97.84% in agricultural fallow land, i.e. land without scrub and sparse vegetation on hills also decreased during the period. Dense vegetation area, i.e. forest plantations on the
hills and in the Piedmont area was increased. It was observed that a total of 33 water harvesting structures were constructed between 2004 and 2007.
