The basic principle of soil and water conservation is to use the land according to its capability. Therefore the knowledge of land capability classification is a prerequisite and important for planning of watershed development programme. The capability of land depends upon the characteristics of the land like slope, soil depth and soil type. Considering this input parameters Land Capability Classification (LCC) decision tree is formulated using ID3 algorithm. Results shown by generated decision tree are compared with the results obtained theoretically by considering ranges given in the standard table and were found similar. After successful testing of decision tree it is concluded that the model is useful for suggesting the soil and water conservation practices for watershed development plan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
