Wasteland Inventory, Development Monitoring
Phase 3 2005-06

• Ecologically Degraded Land - 64 MHa
• - 45 Mha culturable with interventions

• Categorisation for development in terms of
• A Sands, Barren(High capital investment)
• B Marginal Agril. (Intervention needed)
• C Saline, Aklaline.. (Second Generation Issues)

• Targeting Poverty Eco-degradation
• Creation of Rural Employment/Assets
• Watershed Development Programme

Watershed Monitoring Evaluation
(World Bank Assisted Sujala Watershed Development
Project)
77 Sub-watersheds ( 5 Districts, Karnataka)

• GIS MIS Design for Monitoring Evaluation
• Concurrent Monitoring of Implementation
• Social and Environmental Impact Assessment
• Dev. Activity

Remote Sensing GIS Utilisation at Village
level
Use of RS and GIS for midcourse and final
impact evaluation
a model of excellence and should be promoted
widely for other projects to follow World

Environmental Issues

• Land degradation
• E/S/WL 183/4.8/11.6 M ha
• Low Productivity (1635 kg/ha)
• Wastelands
• 63 Mha
• Forestry
• Decrease in closed forest
• Loss of species
• Water
• Depletion of ground water table
• Inequitable distribution of surface water
• Rainfall ( 880 /- 85 mm)
• Glacier retreat gt10 meters/year
• Degrading Coast
• Disasters
• Demographic pressure

NNRMS NR Repository Major elements
Create and maintain a systematic archive of all
the digital spatial data of thematic and base
maps generated using remote sensing data
NSDI Server
NRR Data generation
Other NNRMS Projects

NNRMS Standards
Fundamental requirement for national spatial
database infrastructure

• Standards provide common method to manage,
  access, and display information
• Exchange of Geospatial information demand common
  data format
• Integration of multiple data sets to derive
  action plan/decision making
• Generation of seamless GIS database

Natural Resources Census
To provide a snap-shot of the countrys status of
natural resources with a repeat cycle will depict
changes and modifications

• At 1250,000 scale using IRS-AWiFS
• Periodic National level Land-use/ Land cover
  inventory for 3 seasons

• At 150,000 scale using IRS-LISS - 3
• National level Land-use/ Land cover inventory for
  3 season
• Pilot study for Geomorphology in 5 different
  Geomorphic Provinces initiated with GSI
• Snow and Glaciers mapping taken up with Min of En
  F
• Land degradation mapping launched with Department
  of Agriculture and co-operation

15
Large Scale Mapping
Preparation of 110,000 scale Cartographic
quality maps using space borne imagery and GPS
control

• Pilot Stage
• Studying efficacy of large scale mapping for
  different terrain types
• Standardization of mapping procedures including
  accuracies
• Designing Geospatial database
• Operational Stage
• Generation of large scale maps using Cartosat-I
  II satellite data.
• Generation of operational Geospatial database.

• OUTPUT
• Vector Map data layers
• Digital Elevation Model
• Ortho Image/Geo-rectified image
• Value Added Products

Dubrugarh, Imphal, Nowgong, Tezpur

Cadastral Referencing Database
Digital database of Cadastral maps overlaid on
Geo-referenced satellite data
State level seamless Cadastral database

• Land Information System
• Monitoring of implementation of developmental
  activity
• Social and Environmental Impact Assessment

Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh Karnataka Gujarat
17
CartoDEM

• Objective of the project is to prepare seamless
  digital elevation model for Indian land mass and
  to generate corresponding ortho-image using
  Cartosat-1 data

• CartoDEM deliverables
• Digital Elevation Model with Height accuracy of
  8m (LE90) Plan accuracy of 15 m (CEP90)
• Orthoimage with resolution of 2.5m

• Augmented Stereo-Strip Triangulation (ASST)
  software being developed by SAC is the backbone
  software for generating CartoDEM deliverables
• WGS 84 for both planimetry and elevation of
  CARTODEM data
