This book focuses on the application of geospatial technologies for
resource planning and management for the key natural resources,
e.g. water, agriculture and forest as well as the decision support
system (DSS) for infrastructure development. We have seen in the
past four decades that the growing complexities of sustainable
management of natural resources management have been very
challenging. The book has been written to leverage the current
geospatial technologies that integrate the remotely sensed data
available from various platforms, the precise locational data
providing geospatial intelligence, and the advanced integration
tools of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Geospatial
technologies have been used for water resources management
employing geomorphological characteristics, analysis of river
migration pattern, understanding the large-scale hydrological
process, wet land classification and monitoring, analysis of
glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), assessment of environmental
flow and soil erosion studies, water quality modelling and
assessment and rejuvenation of paleochannels through groundwater
recharge. Geospatial technologies have been applied for crop
classification and mapping, soil moisture determination using
RISAT-1 C-band and PALSAR-2 L-band sensors, inventory of
horticulture plantations, management of citrus orchards, crop yield
forecasting, rice yield estimation, estimation of
evapotranspiration and its evaluation against lysimeter and
satellite-based evapotranspiration product for India to address the
various issues of the agricultural system management. Geospatial
technologies have been used for generation of digital elevation
model, urban dynamics assessment, mobile GIS application at grass
root level planning, cadastral level developmental planning and
e-governance applications, system dynamics for sustainable
development, micro-level water resources planning, site suitability
for sewage treatment plant, traffic density assessment,
geographical indications of India, archaeological applications and
disasters interventions to elaborate various issues of DSS for
infrastructure development and management. Geospatial technologies
have been employed for the generation and reconciliation of the
notified forest land boundaries, and also the land cover changes
analysis within notified forest areas, forest resource assessment,
management and monitoring and wildlife conservation and management.
This book aims to present high-quality technical case studies
representing the recent developments in the "application of
geospatial technologies for resource planning and management". The
editors hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for
scientists and researchers to plan and manage land and water
resources sustainably.
