Water is the most precious natural resource found in requisite amount on planet earth. 
It‟s an attractive factor when people choose where to live. Watershed, an area on land that 
drains all the streams to a common outlet encompasses both ground and surface water. 
Understanding the demographic aspects of watershed is as important as the natural factors. It 
describes immense relationship of population with different socio economic parameters and 
helps to know how far the growth rate of population is keeping pace with growth rate of the 
economy. The aim of present research is to study the village/town wise spatial analysis of 
demographic aspects of Ujh watershed using census of India statistical data (2011) through 
delineation of watershed boundary from ASTER data in Arc GIS software. For the analysis of 
various selected demographic aspects the present study area is divided into five categories from 
very low, low, moderate, high to very high according to the data range of each parameter taken 
in the study respectively. However sex ratio in the study area is categorized into three classes: 
low, moderate and high. As per the calculated results of the study the majority of villages/towns 
of watershed fall under high literacy rate and moderate sex ratio. Low and very low main and 
marginal workers in watershed to some extent would have impacted the economy of study area.
