Abstract :

This study ings out to identify the changes of land use/land cover of Dosalavanka watershed of Chandragiri mandal, Chittoor district, A.P. The relationship between Land Use and Land Cover changes (LULC) has been identified by using IRS P6 LISS III. Further, the preparation of LULC map using Survey of India (SOI) Toposheet 57 O/ 6 of the year 1982 to know the land use pattern. In the same way, the various LULC image classified which has collected from NRSC (National Remote Sensing Centre), online interpretation using ArcGIS software. The agricultural practices under agriculture land and cropland has most important crash over the hydrological processes of the watershed. Thus, the change detection obtained from LULC serve in most favorable solutions for the selection, planning, implementation and monitoring of development schemes to meet the increasing demands of human needs has lead to land management. The Remote Sensing techniques also cost effective to detect the change in LULC over a large area due to natural and human activities. This study shall be very useful for further development planning.
