Temperature Rise and Effect on Ecosystem Using Remote Sensing Techniques: A Case Study of Raniganj in Barddhaman District, India
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Some of the most serious environmental damage is taking place in the third world, especially destruction of forests and the loss of species. The resulting famines, floods, erosion and droughts are taking a rapidly increasing number of lives each year. As the trees are lost rain runs of more rapidly, eroding soils and causing more serious flooding, and more serious droughts later on. When there is less wood people burn more dung, which should be going back to the soil. There are now millions of "environmental refugees: people fleeing because their environments have become unable to support them. The changes in the environmental quality parameters due to mining activities may have substantial impact on the regional ecosystem. The biodiversity of the nearby areas need to be kept into consideration on a long term basis for better monitoring of environmental impacts and cost effective characterization of the changes in the land utilization and land cover changes maps, over time. Presently, it has become mandatory to study and analyse the impacts of mining on its surroundings with the use of remote sensing technology to generate valuable land cover maps of valuable assets for complete environmental assessment over mining affected area. In this paper the same has been demonstrated for the small mining operations in the district of Barddhaman with respect to the forest and greenery changes in and around the mining areas.
