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), assessmentof 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.

?Dr. Chandra Shekhar Jha has an M.Sc and Ph.D. (1990) degree from the famous Ecology School of BHU, Varanasi. Currently, he is an Outstanding Scientist and Chief General Manager, Regional Centres, National Remote Sensing Centre, Hyderabad. He joined the then NRSA in 1990 and has been contributing significantly in Geospatial Technology and applications majorly for the sustainable management of forest and environmental resources, especially on advanced methodologies for ecological monitoring, development of national databases, carbon cycle research, and ecological modeling. Dr. Jha’s contributions for the National Assessment of Biodiversity Characterization at the Landscape level are significant. He also led the team for the Alert system development for National Forest Fire and annual Forest Loss.

As a Coordinator of ISRO’s National Carbon Project (NCP), Dr. Jha leads a large team of research scientists addressing the various components of carbon and water cycle using multiple remote sensing sensors, a network of eddy covariance flux towers, and process models.

Currently, Dr. Jha focuses on Geospatial applications for rural development and spatial planning. Dr. Jha has guided 10 Ph.D. theses under his supervision. He has also served large numbers of National Committees of Govt Of India Ministries. He is the recipient of several national and international awards and honours.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
