Abstract

Over the years geographical information system (GIS) tools have become less and less expensive as also ever easier to use. This chapter presents a case study in which GIS has been used with essential ground truth validation to set-up ‘bench-marks’ of land-use, flora, fauna, and topography of a typical campus—that of Pondicherry University—with which development planning can be done in an eco-sensitive manner. The effort also led to the identification of rainwater harvesting sites.
