LandUseLandCoverMap 2021

The most valuable natural resource is land, which includes soil, water, and the accompanying plants and wildlife that make up the entire ecosystem. Information on land use helps with planning for development by enabling a better understanding of the land utilization aspects of cropping patterns, fallow areas, forests, grazing lands, waste lands, and surface water bodies. Any terrain's land use pattern reflects the intricate physical processes at play on the earth's surface.

Source: Land use land cover map of the study area has been prepared by using Landsat-9 OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) satellite imageries of year 2021. Digital classification (unsupervised) method has been used for extraction of agricultural crop land, agricultural fallow land, vegetation, scrub - barren land, forest area, water bodies, and river-drain, while traditional visual image interpretation method has been used for digitization of other land use categories, built-up area (urban), and built-up area (rural). As historical high-resolution satellite imageries such as GeoEye, WorldView, QuickBird is also available on GoogleEarth, then these land use / land cover data layers have been verified through best available GoogleEarth satellite imagery.
