Environment mapping, mineral exploration, agriculture, forestry, geology, water, ocean, infrastructure planning and management, disaster mitigation and management, etc. all benefit greatly from the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems. Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) have been more important over the past few decades as means of gathering data on nearly every facet of the planet. There has been a proliferation of uses for satellite data with high spatial and spectral resolution in recent years. Over the past four decades, remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) have made substantial contributions to India's development efforts. In this work, we look at how remote sensing and GIS can be used to address a variety of environmental concerns, including those related to mining, cities, the ocean, and landfills.
