Irregular precipitation and inadequate water infrastructure have caused severe droughts and floods in various parts of the basin worldwide. The plausible solution is to allocate water from an area of surplus water to an adjacent area, with insufficient water, this development is called interbasin water transfer. There are solutions for transferring water within a basin, the most common being open canals and pipes, but there are very few explanations to know the feasibility of transfer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of water transfer within a basin. The Tandula and Ravishankar reservoirs of the Shivnath Basin of central India were the study sites. Change detection analysis was used to assess the feasibility of water transfer with inputs as normalized differential vegetation index and reservoir discharge. We have conducted a questionnaire survey to verify our findings and the farmer’s feedback on water-related issues in the basin. Our finding shows that the Tandula reservoir faces water scarcity issues during the pre-monsoon season and may face socio-economic losses in the near future. The method described in the study can shape the decision-making process of Interbasin water transfer easier and opt for a better solution.
