Crop Acreage Estimation in Jharkhand using Multi-temporal Satellite Data
Abstract: Information on crop acreage statistics and distribution of crops in different districts is required for planning and implementation of various government schemes. Further, information is also required on kharif fallow areas to enhance the cropping intensity. Therefore, in this context acreage assessment in different agriculture seasons i.e., kharif, rabi and zaid has been carried out in Jharkhand State using Landsat-8 OLI remote sensing data. Estimation was carried out for the …

Mapping Flood Risk of Nsanje District in Malawi Using Sentinel-1 Data
Abstract: The all-time imaging ability of SAR systems which can penetrate cloud cover and free availability of Sentinel C-Band data are very useful in deriving critical spatial information for flood disaster management in tropical areas such as Malawi. This study shows how Sentinel-1 data has been used to map flood extents by utilizing VH and VV polarizations and enhance risk mapping during the years 2015 to 2020 in Nsanje district. Multi-dated …

Mapping of Crop Management Factor (C) for Sylhet Sadar using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract: Sylhet Sadar suffers from excessive rainfall causing the enormous soil loss in this area. C-factor is one of the most important parameter of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and revised version of USLE for estimating soil loss. The current study was conducted for determining the crop management factor (C) using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) tools. Satellite images (Landsat 7 ETM+ of 2000, 2010 and Landsat …

Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation: A Review
Abstract: Reservoirs are storage structures for water and are useful for irrigation, navigation, hydroelectric power, water supply for drinking, flood control, etc. But reservoir sedimentation is the gradual accumulation of the incoming sediment load from rivers and causes serious problem on the environment, flood management, economy and the long term efficiency of reservoirs also gets reduced. So, we have to aware of these critical complications and for that the causes of …
