    [ 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.

  • Groundwater Quality Assessment in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu Using GIS
    Nature Environment and Pollution Technology ISSN: 0972-6268 Vol. 13 No. 1 pp. 49-56 2014 An International Quarterly Scientific Journal Original Research Paper Groundwater Quality Assessment in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu Using GIS J. Colins Johnny and M. C. Sashikkumar* Department of Civil Engineering, Anna University, Tirunelveli Region, Tirunelveli, T.N., India *Department of Civil Engineering, University VOC College of Engineering, Anna University, Thoothukudi Campus, Tuticorin, T. N., India ABSTRACT Nat. Env. & Poll. Tech. Website: www.neptjournal.com Groundwater is a significant source of water in many parts of India, especially in semiarid and arid regions. Received: 10-6-2013 About 50% of the total irrigated area is dependent on groundwater. Groundwater is the major source of Accepted: 13-8-2013 drinking water in both urban and rural areas. Also, it is an important source of water for the agricultural and the industrial sectors. Groundwater quality is as important as the quantity. Poor quality of water adversely Key Words: affects the plant growth and human health. Hence, the demarcation of groundwater quality is of vital importance Groundwater to augment groundwater resources. The present study attempts to prepare the spatial variation map of the Spatial variation various groundwater quality parameters for Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu using Geographical Information Water quality System (GIS). GIS has been applied to visualize the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in the study Geographical information area. The major water quality parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium, system (GIS) magnesium, fluoride, chloride and sulphates etc. were analysed. The final integrated map shows three Dindigul district priority classes such as high, moderate and poor groundwater quality zones of the study area and provides a guideline for the suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes.
