Role of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing in Monitoring and Management of Urban and Watershed Environment: Overview
Abstract: Geoinformatics technology is basically comprises of 3S component, Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS). Nowadays Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing are playing a crucial role in our environmental development, raw materials assessment, urbanization, study of watershed, survey and management of cultivable land, study of forestry, geological structure, disaster management and supervision, etc. GIS and RS have emerged as key instruments for retrieving data …

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 …

Analysis of Wildfire Occurrences within the Shores of Lake Chad using Geo-information Technology
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Geographic Information Technology provides an important tool in modeling ecosystem dynamics. One of the drivers of ecosystem change in the Lake Chad Basin is wildfire. This paper examines the historical spatial patterns of wildfires and employed a trend analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) technique in analyzing fire pixel counts from MODIS images of the period 2001-2009. The results revealed a …
