Abstract
In this chapter the fact that water is the most important sustainable and scarce natural resource for agriculture, manufacturing, and domestic use is discussed. The planning and management of sustainable water supplies are major time-critical challenges for any country that need to be resolved due to ever-increasing demand. Major, medium-sized, and minor irrigation and water storage projects completed over the last fifty years in India have made a significant contribution to the country’s growth. It is useful to produce environmental indicators that can be combined with collateral and social indicators. In the study of sustainable watershed innovation, multi-resolution, multi-spectral techniques have been appropriated for rapid, unbiased mapping and monitoring of natural resources in both space and time. Remote sensing and collateral data enable sustainable watershed creation, prioritization, and management in erosion-prone and drought areas. Using remote sensing and GIS techniques, precise information can be provided on planning of spatial distribution, land use, soil, vegetation density, forest, geology, and water resources.
