Land use & Ecology

Sponsored by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, Dept. of Space, Govt. of India

Objective :
  1. Available Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) information for the existing database. In the current exercise, existing spatial LCLU database of 2015-16 will be updated to obtain LCLU for 2020-21 and 2025-26 for the entire Telangana State by using 3 season’s ortho-rectified satellite data viz. Kharif, Rabi & Zaid for the respective years with spatial resolution of 20 meters.
  2. This will be used as a base layer to arrive at land cover land use changes from 2015-16 vs. 2020-21 and 2020-21 vs 2025-26 and similarly for the derived wastelands database too. In order to meet the requirement of wastelands monitoring, an integrated and harmonized LCLU classification will be used.
  3. Similarly, wastelands classes along with its change over proposed LCLU layer will also be created.
  4. Preparation of report containing the category-wise change statistics; spatial distribution of change areas and other ancillary information like ground truthing points along with field photos.
Deliverables :
  1. Seamless Land Cover Land Use (LCLU) data for 2020-21 and 2025-26
  2. Wastelands data for 2020-21 and 2025-26
  3. Land Cover Land Use and Wastelands technical report
  4. LCLU change database for 2015-16 vs 2020-21 and 20-21 vs 2025-26
  5. Wastelands change data base for 2015-16 vs 2020-21 and 2020-21 vs 2025-26
