India’s built-up area has steadily increased over the past 17 years from 2005-06 to 2022-23, expanding by almost 2.5 million hectares, shows the new assessment released by the National Remote Sensing Centre, ISRO. During this period, around 35 per cent of built up area has been added, with an average increase of around 2.4 per cent annually from land cover, which include wasteland and agricultural land cover. The report indicates that a considerable proportion of the increase of built-up areas can be attributed to the diversion of agricultural land covers.  A substantial percentage of built-up area expansion originated from agricultural land covers, which includes 6.3 per cent of double / triple / annual crop, 5.3 per cent of kharif crop, 3.1 per cent of rabi crop, 2.9 per cent of plantation and 5.8 per cent of fallow land, the report said.

HUMID - Hydrologic Unit Model for InDia (Web-Enabled Hydrologic Modelling System in SWAT) HUMID is a web-based interactive hydrological modelling system customized with datasets for Indian River basins. It provides users with interactive web interfaces and maps, preloaded input data, and outputs that include tables and charts. It enables online development, execution, and storage of a user's modelling projects and download of raw output data. It employs the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), an internationally recognised public domain model, as its core modelling engine. It enables one to simulate their area of interest with different scenarios, generate water balance for each scenario and compare them through online maps, graphs and tables. All these can be achieved with only internet connectivity, and no data or computing resources are needed. One can simulate as many runs as possible, analyse the results, and use them for various water management decisions. Currently more than 500 users are using this application.

Satellite Insights: Expanding Glacial Lakes in the Indian Himalayas April 22, 2024 The Himalayan Mountains, often referred to as the Third Pole because of their extensive glaciers and snow cover, are highly sensitive to changes in the global climate, both in terms of their physical characteristics and their societal impacts. Research conducted worldwide has consistently shown that glaciers across the globe have been experiencing unprecedented rates of retreat and thinning since the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century. This retreat leads to the formation of new lakes and the enlargement of existing ones in the Himalayan region. These bodies of water, created by the melting of glaciers, are known as glacial lakes and play a crucial role as freshwater sources for rivers in the Himalayan region. However, they also pose significant risks, such as Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), which can have devastating consequences for communities downstream. GLOFs occur when glacial lakes release large volumes of meltwater due to the failure of natural dams, such as those made of moraine or ice, resulting in sudden and severe flooding downstream. These dam failures can be triggered by various factors, including avalanches of ice or rock, extreme weather events, and other environmental factors. Monitoring and studying the occurrence and expansion of glacial lakes in the Himalayan region is challenging due to inaccessible and rugged terrain. Satellite remote sensing technology proves to be an excellent tool for inventory and monitoring due to its wide coverage and revisit capability. Assessing long-term changes in glacial lakes is crucial for understanding glacier retreat rates, assessing GLOF risks, and gaining insights into climate change impacts. Satellite data archives spanning the past 3 to 4 decades provide valuable insights into changes occurring in glaciated environments. Long-term satellite imagery covering the catchments of Indian Himalayan river basins from 1984 to 2023 indicates significant changes in glacial lakes. Of the 2,431 lakes larger than 10 hectares identified during 2016-17, 676 glacial lakes have notably expanded since 1984. Specifically, 130 of these lakes are situated within India, with 65, 7, and 58 lakes located in the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra River basins, respectively.
