Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Water logging and Salinity have become serious problems in canal irrigated areas of arid and semi - arid regions. This study examined impact of water logging and salinity impact on agriculture and urbanization. For this purpose IRS LISS III data of different dates will be used. The analysis to purpose to be carried out on ERDAS IMAGINE software. Besides using remote sensing data, LISS III 2002 and LISS III 2010 images used for this purpose, Survey of India Topo sheets and ground water depth data were also use d. With the help of Geo - informatics find salinity and water logged affected area in the Haryana State of India where about 500 000 ha area are waterlogged and unproductive, and the size of the waterlogged area is increasing, causing a threat to agricultura l sustainability. Groundwater depth during the study period (October 2012) is about 20 Feet which is the main reason of water logging and salinity. An annual groundwater table rise of 0.198m was estimated for the study area . Since the groundwater table had been rising continuously. There is salt in many parts of the study area. Salinity can develop naturally, but where human intervention has disturbed natural ecosystems and changed the hydrology of the landscape, the movement of salts into rivers and onto land has been affected the production. This is beginning to dramatically affect our natural environment, reduce the viability of our agricultural sector and damage private and public infrastructure. Controlling on the water logging and salinity is the main purpose of the present study.
