Mapping of Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Upper Ponnaiyar Watershed, Tamil Nadu: A Remote Sensing and GIS Approach
Abstract: Land use and land cover is an important element in understanding the interactions of human activities with the environment and thus it is necessary to assess changes. Experiential observation revealed that changes have occurred in land use/land cover and hence an attempt is made to study the changes in land use and land cover in upper Ponnaiyar river basin over a period of 40 years (1973–2013). The study carried out …

Application of Geo-Informatics for Cadastral Level Land Use/Land Cover Mapping in Adalpur Micro Watershed of Mahendergarh District for Sustainable Agriculture Management
Abstract: This work represents the case study of Adalpur Micro watershed cadastral level land use/land cover (LULC) mapping for sustainable agricultural management. . This area is situated in Krishnawati seasonal river drainage area. IRS P-6 LISS-IV satellite images for two crop seasons (Rabi and Kharif) of the year 2007 were used to delineate LU/LC within the watershed area. The Rabi and kharif season data are interpreted digitally for delineation of land …

Geoinformatics based Micro-Watershed wise Land capability analysis for Sustainable Land Resources Management
Abstract: Land is one of the important component on which physical, economical and social development depends. The land capability classification is the grouping of land units into defined classes based on its capability. It is a broad grouping of soils based on their limitations and is designed to emphasize the hazards in different kinds of soils. It serves as a guide to assess suitability to the land for agricultural crops, grazing …

Ayurvedic Management of Vatika Pakshavadha (Hemiplegia): A Case Study
Abstract: Background: Pakshavadha, described in Ayurveda under the category of Vāta Vyādhi, is a neurological disorder caused by aggravated Vāta doṣa affecting one half of the body. Clinically, it is correlated with hemiplegia or post-stroke neurological deficits, particularly following ischemic cerebrovascular accidents. Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, often leaving patients with residual weakness, gait disturbances, and impaired speech despite modern rehabilitation. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach …

Assessment of Soil Erosion Impacts at the Panchhari Sub-district of Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques Based on RUSLE Model
Abstract: Soil erosion has been identified as a significant issue around the world. It is often exacerbated due to land deterioration, conversion of agricultural land, and other anthropogenic activities. It negatively impacts soil productivity, water quality deterioration, river and reservoir bed sedimentation, nutrient loss, and sustainability of natural resources. Understanding the controlling factors of soil erosion can help us to identify erosion-prone areas and improve land use management. The novelty of …
