Urban runoff increases significantly due to increased impervious area and reduced drainage network. Evaluation of land use in urban area plays a vital role as input to estimation of runoff. The hydrological design standard for water resource planning and management is commonly based on frequency of occurrence of heavy rainfall events. In the area of vithalwadi the life and properties are under the threat of flooding due to heavy rainfall within frequent time interval. In the present study, the occurrence of most frequent heavy rainfall event is investigated for Kathimanavli area, located near the Vithalwadi Railway Station in the State of Maharashtra, India and used for estimation of run off depth . The land use detail for the study area was obtained by integration of GIS and remote sensing. The spatial variation of event rainfall is considered with certain percentage of deviation from base rainfall for each triangle area that contributes to the run-off. The results of the analysis indicate that the study area can produce the run-off volume more than the present condition for water management at an average seasonal rainfall the canal already present, by maintaining the velocity of flow throughout the canal and drain out water into Ulhas river.
