Land Resource Evaluation and Site Suitability Criteria Development around the Shivpuri City (M.P.), India, Study using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract: Recent research indicates that the human induced conversions and modifications of land cover around the Shivpuri city. Land resource evaluation and Site suitability, though land use is mainly controlled by various biophysical factors like soil, climate, relief and vegetation but the human activities are mainly responsible for the change of attributes of land use modification and conversion. In this paper focuses on weightages overlay GIS techniques for land resource evaluation …

Morphometric Analysis of Ansupa Lake, Odisha using GIS Technique
Abstract: Basin morphometry is a means of numerically analyzing or mathematically quantifying different aspects of a drainage basin. In the present study, morphometric analysis of the Ansupa lake Catchment has been carried using earth observation data and geographical information system (GIS) techniques. The morphometric parameters considered for analysis includes the linear, areal and relief aspects of the basin. The study has strengthened in understanding the hydrological, geological and geomorphological characteristics of …

Geo-spatial Predictions of Soil Organic Carbon: A Review
Abstract: Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) plays an important role in conservation of biophysical environment, i.e., biogeochemical cycles, soil fertility, water quality, atmospheric carbon control, temperature control, sustainable land management and food production. Geo-statistical techniques can be useful for precise estimations and preparation of high quality SOC maps essential for planning and monitoring the biophysical environment. Several studies have used geo-statistical techniques successfully for description of spatial patterns, quantitative modeling, spatial predictions …

Integration of Remote Sensing and GIS for Land Use/Land Cover Mapping in Rewari District, Haryana
Abstract: Spatial information is very important for the implementation of planning and development activities. Land use planners are always keen to know land use/cover types and their change detection in time series for sustainable land management. Remote sensing with its multispectral, multi-temporal and synoptic view has the potential to provide accurate spatial and temporal information on land-use/land cover of a region in a time and cost effective manner for the sustainable …

Remote Sensing and GIS Application for Detection and Delineation of Waterlogging in Rohtak District
Abstract: Waterlogging is becoming a serious problem in irrigated command areas of India which causes farm, regional and national level effect on crop production and economic growth. An attempt has been made to make an assessment of the major land degradation process, i.e., waterlogged and those areas sensitive to waterlogging during the pre and post monsoon periods in the Rohtak district using remotely sensed and field data. IRS P6- LISS-III digital …
