Prioritization of Micro/Mini Watersheds and Identification of Locations to Construct Rainwater Harvesting Structures using Morphometric Parameters and Geoinformatics
Abstract: Nalluru Amani Kere Watershed (NAKW) is constituent of Caveri river basin, Karnataka state, covering 415.68 km2 area, representing arid climate. The NAKW has been divided into thirty one micro/mini watersheds (MWS) of 3rd order, designated as MWS-1 to MWS-31, for the purpose of prioritization. For this purpose, morphometric parameters were calculated under linear and shape aspects. Linear aspects such as; drainage density (Dd), bifurcation ratio (Rb), stream frequency (Fu), length …

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 …

Identification of Accident Hot Spots at Different Roads of Midnapore Municipality Area: A Geoinformatic Approach
Abstract: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a huge public health and development problem, killing almost 1.2 million people a year and injuring or disabling almost 20 to 50 million or more. Both WHO and World Bank data show that without appropriate action these injuries will rise dramatically by the year 2020, particularly in rapidly-motorizing countries. The study identifies the volatile traffic areas where road accidents are almost regular events and assess …

Landscape Classification of Sariska National Park (India) and its Environments using Geospatial Technology
Abstract: The relationship between land use/land cover (LULC) changes and land degradation over a period of 20 years (1989–2009) at Sariska National Park (India), and its environment was investigated using remotely sensed and ancillary data. The study analyzed the magnitude and direction of temporal LULC changes for two consecutive periods; 1989–2009. The temporal change patterns of LULC were analyzed through interpretation of LANDSAT imagery. Final land cover maps produced under four …

Comparative Assessment of Tropical Basins in the Savanna and Rain Forest Ecological Zones for Crop Production in Nigeria
Abstract: AbstractThis paper reviews the precarious situation of agricultural production in Africa and Nigeria specifically, in line with the emerging concepts of geoinformatics, precision farming and sustainable agricultural intensification. To illustrate the feasibility of operationalising these concepts in Nigeria, Ikpoba and Orle River basins (that are of the rain forest and savannah ecological zones, respectively) were classified into land suitability zones for the optimum cultivation of maize, cassava, yam and oil …

Polymer Composite Mapping: Analyzing Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Mathura District, Uttar Pradesh, India
Abstract: Polymer-based mapping approaches are utilized in this study to improve the accuracy and consistency of LULC classification. Utilizing the special qualities of polymers like their elasticity, robustness, and adaptability, we create a strong framework for mapping LULC dynamics. Over the past few years, the district of Mathura in the state of Uttar Pradesh has experienced substantial expansion and development. This study assessed the change detection and estimated the shift in …

Climate-Driven Shifts in Vector-Borne Disease Ecology Across South Asia
Abstract: Climate change remains one of the most important phenomena affecting the geographical distribution and movement patterns of vector-borne diseases. In South Asia – characterized by high population density, rich biodiversity, and sharp climatic differences – there is growing evidence of the relationship between increasing temperatures and erratic precipitation, along with the behavior of insect vectors. This research aims to evaluate the effects of climate environmental changes on the distribution and …
