Prioritization of sub- climaxes is a vital aspect of watershed operation as it may not be possible to execute development programs at a time for entire corners in a container owing to the deficiency of financial resources. The present study attempts to prioritize sub- climaxes in the Kanakpura corner, in Ramanagara quarter, Karnataka, predicated on the multicriteria ranking system. This process involves birth and determination of various parameters analogous as downfall, drainage density, pitch, land- use, and land- cover, using information from rain needles, topographical wastes, and satellite imagery in Geographic Information System (Civilians) platform. Kanakapura corner is subdivided into nine sub corners, videlicet Bannimukudlu, Bennagodu, Doddaalahalli, Gadasahalli, Horalagallu, Kodihalli, Madarahalli, Maralebbekupe, and Mudagod. Precedences indexing of each of the parameters was done, predicated on their impact significance, and overlay analysis was performed to identify criticalsub- climaxes. Some of the strategies proposed for effective conservation and operation of water resources are the construction of a check levee, performance of water harvesting styles, identification of artificial recharge spots. The results of the study show that priority needs to be given to the, Bennagodu, Madarhalli and Marasandra sub- climaxes followed by remaining sub-climaxes to regulate face water flux thereby perfecting water table position.
