Soil Erosion and Sediment Export in Berta Watershed Using GIS and USLE Model in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia: Implications for Sustainable Natural Resources Management
Abstract: Soil erosion and sedimentation of lake due to runoff is a major problem in Southern Ethiopia. Berta watershed is one of the watersheds in Rift valley Basin, contributing runoff to small Abaya (Tuffa) lake. However, no studies have been conducted on soil erosion and sediment yield from the entire watershed. Therefore, an updated Universal Soil Loss Model and Geographic Information System have been used to start the current study, which …

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 …

Assessment of Soil Erosion Using USLE Technique: A Case Study of Mysore District, Karnataka, India
Abstract: The present study has been conducted to assess the soil erosion in Mysore district in Karnataka, India. The most widely used Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) method has been adopted for the analysis. The USLE method performs based on the five parameters such as, rainfall factor, soil factor, length and slope factor and conservation practice factor. Each necessary numerical data have been obtained from the concerned organization and satellite images …

Anthropogenic Land Use Change Detection in a Kashmir Himalayan Watershed – A Remote Sensing and GIS Approach
Abstract: Watersheds are ubiquitous units that can be seen as the physical foundation of the nation. They have long been recognized as desirable units for planning and implementing developmental programs. Human impact on the watersheds is increasing day by day. The alteration of land use pattern in the Himalayan watersheds is increasing the vulnerability of these inherently fragile ecosystems. The present study is conducted in a Himalayan watershed of Lidder catchment …

Knowledge-based, Automated Land Use/Land Cover Mapping Using Resourcesat-1 AWiFS
Abstract: The availability of large quantity of data from high-resolution space-based sensors along with the existing archives surpassed our ability to extract information from all the data using supervised image analysis techniques. Hence there is a need for automated image classifier with high throughput. Knowledge-based, modular, hierarchical decision-based classifier suitable for the analysis and extraction of major land use/land cover classes from IRS Resourcesat AWiFS data has been developed and the …
