Mapping & Monitoring of Surface Water Bodies
Mapping and monitoring of surface water bodies across the country are being monitored with automated water bodies extraction algorithms that were developed to process huge daily acquired satellite data from multiple sensors across the IRS satellites.
Snow Cover Mapping and Monitoring
Snow in the Himalayas is a vital water resource to India and the snowmelt runoff occurring mostly during summer months constitute a substantial part of water resources of the river systems like Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra. Snow cover mapping is done
River Engineering
River migration and river control works from the major elements in the flood plain management Satellite data provided accurate delineation of river configuration and the status of flood/river control works.
