Description : 

Anthropogenic activities like mining activity have great influence on fragile semi arid ecosystem. For sustainable use of natural resources it is very important to understand land use/ land cover and its implications on semiarid ecosystem. Remote sensing and GIS technique can be an excellent source for mapping, monitoring and understanding these changes. In present study, the IRS-1D LISS III satellite sensor data were used to assess the rate of change in the land use pattern of green marble and soapstone mining area of Kherwara tehsil of Udaipur district, Rajasthan. In the present study, the land use maps of year 1999 and 2004 were generated though the visual interpretation of IRS -1D LISS III images supported by ground truths and the majority of changes are identified in agricultural land, mining/ industrial waste land and degraded forest areas. The comparative study shows that the mining and industrial waste occupies hardly about 0.11 km2 in year 1999 and increased to about 13.08 km2 in year 2004 due to conversion of agricultural land and degraded forest areas into mining area. The result of the study indicates present scenarios and mining impact in Kherwara Tehsil of southern Rajasthan.
