Integrating Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques with Groundwater Flow Modeling for Assessment of Waterlogged Areas

False Colour Composites (FCC's) of IRS-1A LISS-II sensor pertaining to the dates 9th April 1989 and 7th December 1989 are used to delineate the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon surface waterlogged areas in a region around Habibpur sub-distributary bounded by Vaishali branch canal and Gandak river i...

Description
Summary:False Colour Composites (FCC's) of IRS-1A LISS-II sensor pertaining to the dates 9th April 1989 and 7th December 1989 are used to delineate the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon surface waterlogged areas in a region around Habibpur sub-distributary bounded by Vaishali branch canal and Gandak river in North Bihar, India for the year 1989 using visual interpretation technique. Also, digital data of IRS-1C LISS-III sensor pertaining to the dates 7th December 1998 and 6th April 1999 are analyzed in a digital image processing software -- ERDAS Imagine 8.3.1, to delineate the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon surface waterlogged areas for the year 1998-1999. Further, for the study area, the waterlogging conditions are delineated for the year 1991-1992 using the groundwater flow modeling software package, MODFLOW. The results obtained using satellite remote sensing data and groundwater flow modeling are integrated in a GIS environment in ERDAS Imagine for assessment of the waterlogging areas.
