Dams are an important component of water resource development, particularly needed for a country like India. However, these are to be constructed and managed in such a way that the adverse impacts are...
Groundwater is the largest freshwater storage, but its high abstraction rate for fulfilling the demands of ever increasing population, industrial and agricultural sectors has been leading to its significant depletion.
Flood hazard zonation is one of the most important non-structural measures, facilitating appropriate regulation and development of floodplains and thereby reducing the flood impact. Satellite remote sensing data have the capability to ‘provide comprehensive, synoptic and multitemporal coverage of large areas in near real time and at frequent intervals’ over the flood-affected regions.
