“…The change in any form of land use largely depends on the human intervention and the pressure build up within the system (Bisht and Kothyari, 2001). Changes may involve the nature or intensity of change but may also include spatial and time aspects.…”

“…By understanding the driving forces of land use development in the past, managing the current situation with modern GIS tools, and modeling the future, one can develop plans for multiple uses of natural resources and nature conservation. The change in any form of land use is largely related either with the external forces and the pressure built-up within the system (Bisht and Kothyari, 2001). The collection of remotely sensed data facilitates the synoptic analyses of Earth -system function, patterning, and change at local, regional and global scales over time; such data also provide an important link between intensive, localized ecological research and regional, national and international conservation and management of biological diversity (Wilkie and Finn, 1996).…”

“…However National Water Development Authority (NWDA) foresees that interlinking of river basins must be carried out not just to meet all the water demands but also for sustaining sub-surface water reserves in a healthy condition. Information on land use/land cover provides a better understanding of the cropping pattern and spatial distribution of fallow lands, forests, grazing lands, wastelands and surface water bodies, which is vital for developmental planning, Philip and Gupta [16], Krishna et al [17], Vijaykumar et al [18], B. S. Bishit et al [19] Naik et al [20]. In view of the pressure exerted by increasing population, need for mitigating increasing demand of land resources, appropriate scientific land-use planning and land management strategies could provide the alternative for the sustainable development of any region Saxena et al [21].…”

As a part of the National Water Development Authority (NWDA) proposal, the linking between Pennar and Cauvery is put forth with a single purpose of conserving water to the maximum extent possible. The present study covers with land use/land cover (LU/LC) along the alignment study area 17215.68 sq•km. All the details of these features have been studied using IRS-P6, LISSIII data to analyze the effect of land use and land cover. The land use and land cover data are classified into 9 categories such as crop land, current fallow, forest, plantations, built-up land, water bodies, scrub land, sandy area and others. The total area going to be capsized is 17215.68 sq•km out of which 10105.96 sq•km is proposed command area. The 244 villages have to be rehabilitated due to this canal whereas about 4597 villages will enjoy the fruits of this canal in the form of drinking water, ground water recharge and as an additional source of irrigation as well. The study indicated current fallow land of 5340.14 km 2 and 6307.98 km 2 of cropland can be brought under cultivation which is more than what NWDA estimated land that can be benefitted.

“…Remote sensing and GIS has emerged as important tools in assessing natural resource degradation by providing timely, accurate and up to date information obtained remotely sensed data on a cost effective basis. Among the recent studies in India, one of the study has been done to analyse the land cover change of Garur Ganga watershed, Uttaranchal, revealed the decrease in forest cover and increase in agriculture/built up area for 1963-1996 period [21]. Another research was on land use/land cover change detection through remote sensing and its climatic implications in the Godavari Delta region, India which showed increase in wetland which influenced the climate of the area [22].…”

The present study attempts to identify and quantify climate change induced land degradation at watershed and village level in Jaggar Watershed of Eastern Rajasthan using remote sensing and GIS technique. The study utilizes Standard Geocoded FCC LISS II data of 1989, and LISS III data of 1998 and 2009 on 1:50,000 scale for Land use/land cover mapping. Maps were digitized, edited and analyzed in GIS to ascertain land use/land cover changes. Comparative analysis of the Land use/land cover statistics and village level household survey reveals that climate change has severely affected land use/land cover especially agriculture land. Agricultural land in the watershed has decreased from 12,026 ha (34%) to 10,400 ha (29.65%) from 1998 to 2009. The area occupied by surface water resources of the major water body has decreased by 207 ha owing to decline in rainfall over the years. Climate data analysis suggests that average maximum and minimum temperatures during the period 1977-2007 have increased by 1.2˚C and 0.4˚C respectively. Increasing trends of temperature suggests warming up of the area. Decline of ground water table by 1 -2 m on annual basis coupled with significant drawdown has led to water scarcity in many parts of the watershed. The water table has gone down to a depth of 240 feet, which was reported at 60 -70 feet 20 years back. The area has shown sharp decline of rainfall by 269 mm from 1977 to 2007. The survey results show that there has been shift in the cropping pattern during the last 20 years due to change in climate as well as decline in availability of water for irrigation. Climate change seems to have played a key role in Jaggar watershed resulting in land degradation and making rainfed agriculture more vulnerable.
