Effective Utilisation of Lowland Eco-System for Water and Crop Productivity in Eastern India
Abstract: AbstractThere is no option other than to increase the food production to meet the increasing demand for food with ever-increasing population growth rate. There is also very little or no scope of horizontal expansion due to land limitation, the question of vertical expansion is the only way to fit with the situation. Genetically improved crop variety, hybrids, mechanized agriculture, higher rate of fertilizers and chemicals application may give one or …

Detecting Land Use and Land Cover and Land Surface Temperature Change in Lilongwe City, Malawi
Abstract: In south east Africa, Lilongwe city had an observed rapid population growth over the past decade and a half. The same city also had recently observed increased temperatures and adverse weather conditions such as occassional heavy storms which caused severe flooding in January 2017 and December 2017. It was therefore thought wise to do a land use and land cover (LULC) study of the city over time to detect land …
