The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The total geographical area of the Dindigul distict is6, 26,664 hectares, which is about 4.82 percent of the total geographical area of Tamil Nadu state.Thedistrict, is well connected by roads and railway lines with other towns within and outside Tamil Nadu.This district comprising 359 villages has been divided into 7 Taluks, 14 Blocks and 40 Firkas.

  • Land Use Change Detection Using Remote Sensing and GIS- a Case Study of Dindigul Panchayat Union, Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu
    [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 2 I APRIL – JUNE 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Land Use Change Detection using Remote Sensing and GIS- A Case Study of Dindigul Panchayat Union, Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu Dr. S. Latha Guest Lecturer, Department of Geography, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli 620 024. Tamil Nadu. Received: April 30 , 2018 Accepted: June 2, 2018 ABSTRACT Land is a basic and non-renewable natural resource on which man depends for his food, fiber and fuel requirements. Per capita land is declining and consequently the pressure on land resources are increasing, that leads to over exploitation of resources. To maintain sustainability of land resources, analysis of land use pattern on real time basis is essential. Hence, an attempt is made in the present study to analyse the land use pattern in Dindigul Panchayat Union for the periods 1973, 1997 and 2017. The methodology includes visual interpretation and classification of land use classes of multi date satellite data of the study area. The interpreted maps are digitized and the areal statistics for each land use classification is presented. Using ARC/INFO GIS techniques, the maps are overlayered to analyze the change detection. This study would assist for future land resource evaluation, management and environmental assessment. Keywords: Land Use, Overlay, Change Detection. Introduction Land is a basic and non-renewable natural resource on which man depends for his food, fiber and fuel requirements. Per capita land is declining due to growing population and consequently the pressure on land resources are increasing, that leads to over exploitation of resources.
