Overview for Remote Sensing and GIS for Natural Resource Management
The present work "Remote Sensing and GIS for Natural Resource Management" gives an overview of remote sensing and geographic information system applications for mapping, monitoring, assessment and management of natural resources. Remote sensing and GIS are integrated system of information gathering and analysis of alternative method for natural resource management. The recent development in the field of remote sensing and GIS based Natural Resource Management is due to the successful launching of a series of remote sensing satellites equipped with advanced sensors. The use of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) gave scope for immense opportunities in the field of large scale mapping, updating of existing geographical maps, project planning, decision-making and natural resource management.
