This comprehensive book delves into the realm of geospatial technologies, exploring their application in the study of land use, land cover (LULC) dynamics, agricultural water management, water resources assessment and modeling, and investigations into natural disasters. LULC dynamics stands as a prominent research focus in understanding global environmental change through the analysis of remote sensing data. The book's section on LULC dynamics sheds light on the multi-variate criteria employed for land use and land cover classification and change assessment in mountainous regions. Furthermore, it delves into the study of LULC change detection in the Tons river basin and its dynamics at decadal frequencies, aiming to derive adaptation and mitigation strategies. Additionally, the book encompasses landscape-level forest disturbance modeling, emphasizing its conservation implications.
Recognizing the importance of watershed management for the comprehensive management of land and water resources, the book presents studies on multi-criteria analysis for rainwater harvesting planning and its impact on land use, land cover transformations in rain-fed areas, utilizing geospatial technologies. This book serves as a valuable resource for academics, water practitioners, scientists, water managers, environmentalists, administrators, NGOs, researchers, and students actively engaged in the application of geospatial technologies in LULC studies, agricultural water management, hydrological modeling, and natural disasters. By addressing the challenges posed by climate change and addressing issues of food and water security, this book contributes to advancing our understanding and management of the Earth's vital resources.
