India accounts for about 2.4 per cent of the world’s geographical area but supports about 17 per cent of the world’s human population and 15 per cent of the livestock.
A Geospatial Study of Lower Chambal Valley The ravines of Chambal have probably originated from tectonic activity and have till date shown no obvious relation to climate, but continued deforestation exposes the nutrient deficient soil, which exacerbates ravine expansion. Extreme climatic events in such a scenario can speed up erosion and prompt a disaster.
Land Degradation and Climate Change The vulnerability of drylands is now markedly visible with acres of cropped land degraded. The 1977 Landsat MSS image, shows Ghaggar Diversion Channel bringing excess water of Ganga Canal to the interdune plains. The fertile valley of the Drishadvati palaeochannel, with crop lands depicted in blue, covering about half the image can be seen. The 2000 Landsat ET...
