Abstract: | Landsat images have been used in conjunction with topographical and geological information to prepare soil map of Mudhol taluk in Bijapur district, Karnataka state. The map has been compared with the reconnaisance map prepared by conventional method using 1:63,360 scale Survey of India toposheets. The study reveals that more accurate soil maps in terms of boundary delineation and composition of soil mapping units could be prepared by interpretation of Landsat images with adequate ground data. The method can thus be used in revising and improving many of the existing reconnaissance soil maps prepared by conventional method. |
