Abstract

The land use/land cover pattern of the any area is result of natural, socio-economic factors and their application to man in time and space. Land use/land cover is a significant part of the human beings life and their behaviour with the situation and hence it is necessary to imitate changes. Land use is usage of landscape for different purposes like development, conservation or mixed such as crops, forests, mining, transport, housing, entertaining, manufacturing and cost-effective. Land cover is natural or planted vegetation and manmade construction. The unused lands may be unproductive, waste, rocky, barren or fallow land. From surveying and data collection it is not always possible to generate all the information of land use/land cover. In this thought the objective of the present paper is to mapping the general land use/land cover pattern of Laxmi and Sheri Nala basin (KR 40 Watershed) around Sangli, Maharashtra. This study area comes in rain shadow zone i.e. in DPAP (Drought prone area project as per GSDA data), which receives the rainfall about 500 mm and accordingly the area faces scarcity of water. Hence the scenario of groundwater availability and requirement with respect to land use and land cover becomes important factor. To achieve this objective, the secondary data is obtained from Landsat 5 and Sentinal 2 remote sensing satellite imageries for period 1997 and 2017 respectively. From the analysis it can be conclude, there is much scope is in the field of utilization of open rocky land and replacing by agriculture pattern for groundwater management.
