Buy from FlipkartWater is a valuable natural resource that is essential to all aspects of life on Mother “Earth” In fact, our planet is covered by 70% of water, but only 3% of the total water is in the form of freshwater, and again two-thirds of that is in the form of glaciers or is unavailable for our use. Presently, 1.1 billion people globally lack access to good drinking water resources, and another 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year.
With growing urban population and land use changes, water scarcity will be exacerbated, and also with climate change and bio-energy demands amplify the complex relationship between world development and water demand. The chapters cover the topic of:
Introduction to Remote Sensing and Its Applications
Quantitative Evaluation of Geomorphology Using Geo-Spatial Techniques
Insights into the Groundwater Resource Mapping
Assessing Spatial Changes in Blue and Green Water Resources
GIS Tools for Mapping the Spatio-Temporal Trends in Rainfall Distribution
Geographic Information System (GIS): A Practical Guide Towards Data Visualization, Analysis
and Map Preparation
