Abstract: Hooghly estuary is a dynamic zone, where the erosion-accretion process is active because of

the combined effects of the fluvio-tidal-wave activities and supported by frequent cyclones, sealevel

fluctuations, sediment supplies from upland sources, and neotectonic activities. The Sagar island, the

largest in the Hooghly estuary, is suffering erosion since its evolution. The present study shows that for

the period 1972 and 2010, an area of 6.84 sq. km of the island has been subjected to changes. The total

area has reduced during 1972-90, whereas the net area has increased during 1990- 2010 indicating an

oscillatory pattern of island growth (which may be controlled by the combined fluvio-tidal

hydrodynamics and climate). In general the eastern portion of the island is more silty-clayey and the

western portion is relatively sandy. Numerical modeling is indicative of a close match of the fluid-

sediment path with the erosion-accretion pattern. In the Hooghly estuary, as the duration of flood tide is

much less than the ebb tide, the fluid flow velocity is more during the flood tide. The erosion is maximum

during the mid tide whereas the sediment deposition phase is maximum during the slack period. Overall,

the pattern of erosion-accretion as well as the sediment transport is controlled by the time in the tidal

cycle, the geometry of the river channel and the sediment discharge.

Abstract: Ghoramara island is located 18.36 nautical miles away from Haldia dock in Hooghly estuary,

West Bengal. It is a rhombic shaped island covering an area of around 4.80km with a total shoreline

length of 8.50kms. This sparingly populated sensitive ecosystem is rapidly changing its morphology due

to extensive coastal erosion on the northwestern coast and marginal accretion on the southeastern side.

The degradation of the system due to natural and anthropogenic causes leads to the total areal reduction of

the island. There is a major loss of agricultural land and fisheries. The two islands Lohachara and

Supribhanga lying to the southwest of Ghoramara have already been submerged. The vulnerability and

stability of the island is the major fear of the inhabitants. In the present study, multi-resolution and multi-

temporal satellite images of Landsat and ASTER have been utilized to understand the erosion accretion

pattern of the island over past four decades (1972-2010). The shoreline is the most rapidly changing

feature in the coastal zone so a time series analysis has been carried out. The rate of change in shoreline

positions have been estimated using statistical linear regression, end-point rate and net shoreline

movement method and crossvalidated with regression coefficient (R ) method. Land use land cover map

has been prepared for all these years to understand how the erosion-accretion affected the island and the

vulnerability map indicates the maximum and minimum vulnerable zones on the basis of individual

polder area, shore line changes of the particular polder area and the population density of the unit. It has

been shown that the island is constantly shrinking over time and lost almost 50% of its area.

ABSTRACT

Geospatial techniques have played a key role in studying different types of hazards either natural

or manmade. Temporal satellite data of three years 2000, 2005 and 2010 are used to monitor and

assess the drought severity and the impact of agricultural drought on crop production. In Bankura

District, agricultural drought and crop failure have been common and spatial variability of

rainfall in cropping season with frequent and longer dry spells. This makes them vulnerable to

the risk of agricultural drought. This study is conducting with the objective of assessing

agricultural drought risk and it’s impacts on yield reduction using RS and GIS techniques. The

digital indices using satellite data namely, NDVI (Normalized difference Vegetation index) and

NDVI anomaly can be prepared from the long term mean values of maximum NDVI to assess

the severity of drought. VCI(Vegetation condition Index), TCI(Temperature condition Index),

SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index), MSI(Moisture Stress Index) and YVI(Yellowness

vegetation Index) is very essential to Assess the agricultural drought. The impact of agricultural

drought on crop production was measured through estimation of yield reduction(in %).

Compared to other cropping seasons of the analysis period, yield reduction for the year 2005 was

lesser than the highly drought years 2000 and 2010. Simple regression analyses has performed

between Land surface temperature with NDVI, TCI with VCI and SPI,MSI, NDVI Anomaly,

VCI with Yield reduction . Finally, a resultant drought vulnerability map was obtained by

integrating NDVI Anomaly, MSI, SPI, VCI, TCI and YVI which indicates the area facing a

combined d rought. The combined vulnerability map shows that 6% area has no risk, 53 % area

face moderate risk and 41 % area face high risk within the entire geographical area. Thus, this

agricultural drought risk mapping can be useful to guide decision making process in drought

monitoring and to reduce the risk of drought on agricultural production and productivity.

Abstract: Salinity is the parameter analyzing the soil condition through the accumulation of the

salt over the land or soil by natural process like water table fluctuation and transporting of salt to

the ground through capillary action, water logging or by human induced process of landuse

practice and over fertilization over the land. This study accounts for identification and mapping

of salinity zone over the Basanti, Gosaba Island (808.314sq.km) of South 24 Pargana District of

West Bengal through analysis of Remote Sensing and GIS Technique. The parameters like pH

(<8.2, IS),Electrical Conductivity(EC) and Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) were derived by

ground sampling of soil over the study area along with GPS positions.The collected samples

were tested in laboratory method and later were checked with the with Remote Sensing based

Indices analysis over the satellite images over 1975,2000, 2010 to find out the changes in the due

to over salinization. The Weighted overlay Analysis procedure were followed to assign the

weighted according to the importance o f parameters taken into account for salinity zone

identification and mapping to produce zones of higher, moderate, lower salinity zones over the

study area.

ABSTRACT

Sustainable management of wetland ecosystem is necessary as it serves the important functions

such as food storage, water quality maintenance and providing habitat for different species of

wildlife. Hence, an inventory of wetlands in any given area.is a pre -requisite for their

conservation and management. A study has been carried out to delineate the wetlands of Nadia

district of West Bengal, India, using IRS ID LISS III data of the year of 2000. The data have

been analysed and the wetlands have been qualitatively characterized based on the turbidity and

aquatic vegetation status. The two categories of wetlands (ponds/lakes, and oxbow lakes) have

been identified. From the analysis, it has been observed that the inland wetlands constitute 3.5%

of the study area, of which 2.8% is subjected to Ox-bow lake which is locally called as bils.

Thus, this study highlights the usefulness of remotely sensed data for wetland mapping, seasonal

monitoring and characterization.
