Generation of Land use Land Cover Map and its Significance in Ground Water Dynamics: For Part of Hyderabad City

Yadala Sobhalaxmi Kumari

Abstract: Withfocus on the impacts of urbanization on the groundwater, land use land cover mapping, anchor?s a central component, provide strategies for monitoring and managing natural resources. Land use land cover is the major dynamic process in developing countries and developing cities, where urbanization cause land degradation thereby increases in management of water resources for growing urban population. Shaikpet is part of Hyderabad city, which has experienced a rapid urbanization and turned from rural community to urban establishment within a span of two decades. The study aims at investigating the dynamics of land use land cover over the water quality monitoring for a period of five years 2015 to 2020 taking in to consideration of the watershed area were Shaikpet is geographically located. As the land use land cover, change detection using RESOURCESAT ?LISS IV satellite data is used for application, in observing the significance of ground water dynamics of the study area by taking water sampling and its analysis. Water samples collected at nine different locations and analysis has been done for testing physical, biological and chemical properties of the samples.
