Abstract
Datia is a district of Madhya Pradesh, facing problem of water scarcity during maximum part of the year for sustainability of natural ecosystem (biotic and abiotic components and other purposes). Pahuj River is a tributary of Sind River and flows from west to east direction in Datia district. Pahuj river basin covers 911.96 sq km area in central and southern part of district and has 31.25 inches (793 mm) average annual rainfall. Present study aims to assess the surface hydro-environmental loss as surface runoff of water which is received in the basin and passes out within a short time period. Whole basin is inclined towards north east with hilly area in SW and NE area is plain. Curve number (CN) is used for calculation of loss of basin water as runoff of Pahuj river basin. Estimated runoff is 62012.59*106 CM which is a huge quantity of hydro-environmental loss. Pahuj River basin has a good surface hydro-environment potential to reduce the water scarcity problem of district. Current situation demands to prepare a proper plan for reducing the losses of surface water of the basin.
