| Abstract: | The temporal changes (1988-89 to 1997) in land-use/land cover were studied using multi-temporal satellite data in Mahi Right Bank Canal (MRBC) command area in Kheda district of Gujarat state. The canal command area is affected by waterlogging and salinity. The land-use/land cover change is maximum in a distributary (Lambhvel) situated in highly urbanised zone around Anand city, where built-up area increased from 205 ha to 868 ha. In Nadiad command area also there is an increase in urban area from 281 ha to 460 ha, causing a decrease in agricultural area. Waterlogging is significant in Pansora command area with 586 ha of waterlogged area in 1997. Water logging has also increased in commands of other distributaries. The salt affected area has increased in Chikhaliya command whereas it has decreased in Manej command. |
