: In order to construct a dam, across a river, there should be enough water available in the river, where the dam is proposed to be constructed. This project is supposed to verify the place between two given points whether it is suitable for construction of dam or not using Gini Index. This project measures the water availability level, between two given points of a river, using Gini index calculated based on the availability levels of data of last 100 seasons. The availability levels are classified into three categories: 0 stands for low availability, 1 stands for medium availability and 2 stands for high availability. A dam can be constructed, if the availability level is 2. Gini index-based discretization is a supervised, top-down splitting technique. It explores class distribution information in its calculation and determination of split-points (data values for partitioning an attribute range). The project comprises of four modules. The first module deals with adding the river details and points details to the DB. The second module deals with calculating the Gini indexes based on the attributes of river point. The third module deals with generating the decision tree as a .dot file. The final module deals with generating the decision tree as a .pdf file. The Front end module is used to create the needed GUI screens for the project.
