Agricultural Thematic Mapping Using Remote Sensing and GIS

The agricultural attribute maps, soil maps, land use/land cover maps, water body maps, crop maps( Kharif and Rabi season) and Geomorphic attribute maps of Tons and Sindh Basin are prepared using satellite imageries and several ground observation throughout the basin during the year 2008-09, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011.

Digital Crop Classification map of Tons Basin

• Area covered 1.25 M ha.
• Five districts
• 35 PAN imageries and 6 LISS III images

Digital Crop Classification map of Sindh Basin

• Area covered 2.75 M ha.
• 5 LISS III images
• Nine district
• Used for Decision support system.

Ground Water Recharge through Haveli Fields – Water quality deterioration

• Water quality deterioration in Narsinghpur and Jabalpur district in last 40 years.
• Na, cu, Cr. So4, Fe, Ho3, Cl, Tn are some of dominant pollutant.
• Domestic waste Nala is the poorest water quality.
