Study of Lineaments Control on Drainage Development in Between Chandigarh and Kashipur using Geospatial Techniques

Abstract

The Himalayas form the Northern frontiers of the Indian subcontinent. Many streams originate in these mountain ranges and descend to the adjoining plains known as the Indo-Gangetic plains. The Himalayas presently experience immense stresses as a result of which multiple faults and shear zones traverse it. The signature of these large-scale structural elements on the surface can be identified in the form of lineaments. The Himalayas can be longitudinally divided into the Siwaliks, Lesser Himalayas, Middle Himalayas, and the Higher Himalayas, with each of these units being separated by active fault systems. Four significant trends of lineaments are observed in the area viz. NW-SE, NNW-SSE, NE-SW, and E-W. These trends also resemble with the preexisting subsurface deformational pattern of the study area.

Electrical resistivity tomography technique coupled with numerical modelling: A case study for stability analysis

“…ERT is a versatile tool for mapping of subsurface features like voids, cavities, underground galleries/tunnels (air‐or water‐filled) and so on, where high contrast in resistivity is leveraged to delineate the features very easily. In ERT study, high‐resolution information on subsurface resistivity variation depends on the data quality, data density, choices of electrode configuration and electrode spacing (Aizebeokhai, 2010; Barbosa et al., 2020; Bharti, Pal, Saurabh, Kumar, et al., 2019; Bharti, Pal, Saurabh, Singh, et al., 2019; Cardarelli et al., 2010, 2014; Chandra et al., 2008; Fargier et al., 2017; Giao et al., 2003; Horo et al., 2020; Kumar, 2012; Kumar et al., 2021; Leucci, 2006; Loke, 2000; Nthaba et al., 2020; Prosdocimi et al., 2019; Samanlangi, 2018; Singh, 2013; Singh et al., 2004; Ward, 1989).…”

Lineament Analysis by Using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique of Sangaw Area, Kurdistan Region, NE Iraq

“…The goal of this study is to apply remote sensing techniques in terms of lineaments extraction, analysis, density mapping, or detecting general direction to indicate geological structures (Singh et al, 2021), water and hydrocarbon seepages (Palamakumbura et al, 2020;Enoh et al, 2021), as well as slope stability (Choanji, 2016;Choanji et al, 2018), and drainage pattern (Singh et al, 2021). The selected area is sited in the NE of Iraq, on the border between the governorates of Sulaimaniyah and Kirkuk, it is about 1480 km 2 and stretches from Latitudes 44°55' to 45°26' N and from longitude 35°07' to 35°27' E, (Fig.…”
