Land Use and Land Cover Analysis of Jharkhand Using Satellite Remote Sensing
Abstract: IRS P6 LISS III data was used to delineate different land use/land cover classes of Jharkhand using visual interpretation technique. Tone and texture were found most important for interpretation of different objects. A total of 42 classes of different land use/land cover categories were interpreted. Agricultural land with current fallow and forest areas dominated the landscape of Jharkhand by occupying 49% and 30% of total geographical area, respectively. Built-up (urban …

Geospatial Analysis of Wetlands in Jharkhand Using Multi-temporal Satellite Data
Abstract: The present study was carried out to study the wetlands of Jharkhand using pre-monsoon and post-monsoon satellite data. Different indices were used to quantify the seasonal extent of wetlands, aquatic vegetation and turbidity levels of wetlands. Wetlands occupying an area smaller than 2.25 ha were identified separately as small wetlands. The total number of wetlands identified in Jharkhand was 2436 covering an area of 1568.27 sq. km. Small wetlands were …
