Abstract: | Realizing the potential of spaceborne multispectral measurements in providing spatial information on natural resources, and
of Geographic Information System (GIS) in integrating such information with the socio-economic data and other collateral information
to arrive at derivative information, we report here the results of a study which was taken up in a watershed in Charkhari
block of Mahoba district, northern India, to generate the information on natural resources from Indian Remote Sensing Satellite
(IRS-1B) Linear Imaging Self-scanning Sensor (LISS-II) images through a systematic visual interpretation, and its subsequent
integration with the collateral information in a GIS environment to develop optimal land use plan/action plan for sustainable
development of its land resources. Since permanent vegetation cover in the watershed has been dwindling due to population
pressure, the need for establishing more vegetation cover has been stressed. |
