SUMMARY OF COMPELETED PROJECTS

1. DIGITIZATION OF VILLAGE LAYER IN GIS FORMAT FOR JHARKHAND

Village Boundary of entire Jharkhand were digitized based on village boundary maps

available in District Census Handbook. After digitization, census code of revenue villages have

been attributed to each polygon and linked with the census data to assign the revenue village

name.

2. VILLAGE INFORMATION SYSTEM - A PILOT PROJECT FOR NAMKUM BLOCK

Village Information System (VIS) sponsored by UNDP is an interdisciplinary approach with

Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS technologies conceptualized to

bring about the development in such regions through

creating/updating, disseminating information related to resources

and aspects of development. VIS, a GIS based customized

information system, aims to integrate various datasets at micro-level

(village, panchayat & block). This project is being carried out for

Namkum block of Ranchi district in Jharkhand on pilot basis which will later on be implemented to

the entire state. The objectives include the Geospatial technology based thematic mapping on

various natural resources viz. Geology, Geomorphology, Soils, Landuse/Landcover and Forest

type & density as well as Socio-Economic profile consisting of amenities/infrastructure like

healthcare, schools, roads, power, drinking water, etc., to help meet the above stated goals in the

villages of Jharkhand.

The project also attempts to integrate and generate comprehensive information including

Computerization of Land Records (Land Records Information System) to develop various

development action plans which addresses issues like Land Utilization, Rural Development and

Poverty Alleviation, Tribal Development, Natural Resource Management & Utilization, Wasteland,

Watershed Prioritization, Infrastructure Planning finally leading to the overall Regional

Development. The information will be made available and accessible to the people ranging from

the policy makers, administrators, plan executors, researcher and academicians, NGOs to the

villagers and other people concerned.

JSAC has prepared the atlas with attribute information under the title ‘Pradhan Mantri Gram

Sadak Yojana Road Atlas’ to cater to the needs of the Department

of Rural Development, other State Departments, common man and

general information. The atlas focuses on Through roads, Link

roads, National Highways, State Highways, Major District Roads,

Village Roads/Other District Roads, BT Surface, WBM Surface,

Earthen Surface, District Boundaries, Block Boundaries and other

Layers of relevant information.

4. E-PANCHAYAT AND CUSTOMIZATION OF AUTO RUN CD FOR DISTRIBUTION TO CONCERNED OFFICER

The objective of the project was mapping of Panchayats, Panchayat

Samities and Zila Prishads boundary based on the information

supplied by Dept. of Panchayatiraj and latest population data (2001

census). Further maps were integrated Prapatra 1, Prapatra 3 and

Socio-Economic Information. A web-enabled GIS application was

also developed and available on JSAC’s website.

Atlas of Zila Parishad, Panchayat Samiti and Gram Pachayat were printed as well as

district-wise Auto-run CDs were also developed and supplied to the user department.

and infrastructure were generated and integrated for Land and Water


Resources Development Action Plan. Web-enable GIS application was also customized for online

action plan generation for any area of interest and made available on JSAC’s official website. This

application is very helpful for different user departments.

6 A. SLOPE MAPPING OF JHARKHAND USING PAN SHARPEN LISS III SATELLITE DATA AT 1:50,000 SCALE

Slope mapping on 1:50,000 scales were carried out for all the district

of Jharkhand State. Besides slope gradient and aspect, data on altitudinal

variations was recorded under this project. The objective has been to

support natural resources database with an indispensable input of spatial

data on slope and its attributes to serve a variety of area developmental

programmes. The spatial data on slope would also serve as an important input for the National

(Natural) Resources Information System (NRIS).

Survey of India (SOI) topographical maps on 1:50,000 scale with contour interval of either 20

m or 10 m, as available, were used. Vertical drop denoted by the contour interval (VI) divided by

the horizontal distance in between the contours measured on the map with scale factor (HD) and

multiplied by 100 gives slope percentage (% slope = VI / HD x 100).

6 B. SOIL MAPPING OF JHARKHAND USING PAN SHARPEN LISS III SATELLITE DATA AT 1:50,000 SCALE

The objective has been to augment the natural resources database with an indispensable

soils input to serve a variety of the developmental programmes in the State.

The soil map would also help to bridge the gap of soil resources database in

respect of Jharkhand State in the National (Natural) Resources Information

System (NRIS).

The soil map was generated by application of remote sensing techniques using visual

interpretation procedure with adequate ground truth and employing false colour composite imagery

of LISS-III sensor of the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite – P6 (1RC-P6). Adequate ground truth

data was collected by systematic field studies, which involved soil profile studies for

characterization and classification of soils, checking of interpretation boundaries for their validity as

soil boundaries and verification of physiographic units delineated by image interpretation. Soil

horizonal samples were collected during field work for laboratory analysis to validate field soil

classification.

11. RANCHI UTILITY INFORMATION SYSTEM( RUIS)

Ranchi Utility Information System (RUIS) project based on Remote sensing and GIS was

initiated by Department of Information Technology, Government of Jharkhand for decision support

in Assessment, Planning, Development and Management of Ranchi City.

PAN merged multispectral data at 1:1000 scale is used for this project.

Rapid increase in population of Ranchi leads to expansion of urban areas,

change in living standards by enhancing the old facilities or by adding

additional utilities. For effective planning and rational use of utility services

and conservation of natural resources like water and improvement of

environment, there is a need for proper assessment of buildings,

infrastructure facilitites and land use in GIS environment.

The project on Ranchi Utility Information system was initiated in 2005 with a broad

objective of assessing the present condition of utility services such as water supply and drainage,

roads, city lights, etc with a support of RMC authorities. JSAC completed the GIS work, RMC

supported in integrating the property and socio economic data through another project. JSAC has

now completed the mapping of wardwise land use including buildings and utilities such as roads,

govt. buildings, etc. The results of the GIS mapping of buildings, utilities such as roads, govt.

buildings, water bodies and other landuse including floor details of each building is presented in

21

12. WASTELAND MAPPING (2003) FOR 3 DISTRICTS OF JHARKHAND (RANCHI, BOKARO & LOHARDAGA DISTRICTS)

This was the first project of JSAC funded by National Remote Sensing Center, ISRO, DOS,

Hyderabad. Wasteland is described as "Degraded land which can be brought under vegetative

cover with reasonable effort and which is currently under-utilized and or land which is deteriorating

for lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of natural causes. Wastelands

can result from inherent/imposed disabilities such as by location, environment, chemical and

physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints."

Present study was carried out for Ranchi, Bokaro and Lohardaga districts using multi-

temporal satellite data of yaer 2003-04. Mojor wasteland categories mapped in Jharkhand are

Land with Scrub, Land without Scrub, Gullied Land, Degraded Notified Forest, Barren/Rockey

Stony Waste, Mining Waste are respectively 1846.32, 462.46, 397.55, 7120.15, 416.11, 88.03 sq.

km.

13. NATIONAL WASTELAND MONITORING PROJECT (2003 VERSUS 2006)

The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) acknowledges with great appreciation, the

initiative taken by the Department of Land Resources, MoRD,Govt of

India for entrusting the study on “ National Wasteland Monitoring

Project”. The mapping efforts have generated valuable datasets on

unutilized / vacant lands and their use in watershed management and

amelioration purpose. Wastelands mapping was carried out in different

phases considering the critically-affected districts on priority. A 13-fold

wastelands classification system was adopted for mapping wastelands at 1 : 50,000 scale for

entire country in five phases using Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) IRS LISS II and IRS 1C LISS III

data. Jharkhand largely comprises of the forest tracks of Chhotanagpur plateau and Santhal

Parganas.

The present study reveals that Land with Scrub is reduces by 1084.58 sq. km while Land

with Dense Scrub increases by 737.63 sq. km. Similarly, it is observed that almost all the

wasteland categories increases in area only Barren Rocky/Stony Waste area decreases by 668.21

sq. km.

requirement of the department.

16. URBAN SPRAWL AND LAND USE / LAND COVER MAPPING FOR FIVE MAJOR CITIES OF JHARKHAND (RANCHI, JAMSHEDPUR, BOKARO, DHANBAD AND HAZARIBAGH)

Urban Sprawl is phenomenon that transforms the landscape over

time. The incremental changes in land use make the management of

sprawl a difficult planning and regulatory issue. Further, it is difficult to

gain public attention for a problem that is slow moving and is, generally,

the result of demography and economic forces that become a “problem”

only when it is too late to do much.

The present study reveals that Ranchi faced the maximum growth

with net expansion of 40.22 sq. km inside municipal area with 86.2% of

growth rate, whereas Dhanbad expanded by 4.61 sq. km area with 36.96% of growth rate. In case

of build-up growth outside municipal area, Ranchi faced the maximum growth with 210% followed

by Jamshedpur with 67.5%.

This study was carried out as a part of National level project for

Inventory and Assessment of wetlands. Under this project the study

was carried out for assessment of wetlands of Jharkhand using pre-

monsoon and post-monsoon IRS P-6 LISS III satellite data of year

2006-07. Different indices were used to quantify the seasonal extent


of wetlands, aquatic vegetation and turbidity level of wetlands. Wetlands occupying an area smaller

than 2.25 ha area were identified separately as small wetlands. Total wetlands identified in

Jharkhand were 2436 covering an area of 1568.27 Sq. Km. Small wetlands were 13327 in number.

Rivers/streams and reservoirs occupied more than 90% area of total wetland area. Wetlands

mostly exhibited moderate turbidity. Spatial geodatabase generated in present study will be useful

for the planning and monitoring of wetlands for their continued ecosystem services to the society.

Major wetlands may be further developed as the prime sites of tourist attraction.

19. NATION WIDE MAPPING OF LAND DEGRADATION USING MULTI-TEMPORAL SATELLITE DATA

The project was aim to map the area having high degradation

activitites which leads to wasteland development. The present study

Sample segments overlaid on the image

Space Application Centre is implementing CAPE/ FASAL

Project in co-ordination with Dept. of Agriculture & Cooperation, Govt.

of India along with State Remote Sensing Center. Jharkhand An early

monitoring system of rice area provides necessary information on rice

growing area and on its conditions. August-September satellite data

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data was used to monitor rice area

almost independent of weather. Ground truth data is collected in the

sample segments; crop parameters like age, height, number of plants/m2, number of tillers / plant,

crop condition, variety and field parameters like field condition, water depth, bund height are

recorded. GT site locations were digitized to GIS polygons with attributes corresponding to GT data

for each site. GPS was used in most of the GT sites or else marked on 1:50,000 scale maps and

digitized. These polygons were used with geo-referenced images to extract the rice signatures and

for accuracy checking of classification. A sampling frame divided into 5 km x 5 km units was used.

All grids with more than 15% agricultural area are treated as the population. The population is then

stratified based on various other criteria, often depending on crop proportion estimated from

remote sensing data. These sample segments are classified district by district with the decision

rules developed for each district. After the sample segment images are classified, calculation of

crop proportion in each segment and finally district or state-wise crop acreage estimation are

carried out. District-level trend/time-series and rainfall based agro-meteorological models have

districts namely Pakur, Ranchi and Saraikela-Kharswan of Jharkhand state was given to

Jharkhand Space Applications Center in July 2009 and JSAC has completed the project in July

2011. The project was taken up with two major objectives (i) To identify the potential area for

cultivation of Mulberry food plants in Pakur and Ranchi districts (ii) To identify the potential area for

cultivation of Tasar food plants in Saraikela Kharswan district. For identification of suitable areas

for mulberry food plants the Cultivable waste land mapped under NRSC sponsored Land Use Land

Cover (LULC) project was taken as primary input. Different thematic maps taken as an input to

identify the potential area cultivation of Mulberry plant were Soil and Slope map prepared by JSAC,

SOI topographic maps, Ground Water Prospects Map prepared under Rajiv Gandhi National

Drinking Water Mission projects, Climatic data from Indian Meteorological Department. All these

resource information were integrated by suitability class rules in GIS environment. The spatial

information on suitable class is overlaid with different administrative unit such as blocks and

villages to extract the statistics. In Pakur district 1713 Ha i.e. 44% area of cultivable wasteland was

recorded under marginally suitable class and 5 % area of cultivable waste land i.e. 199 Ha area

was identified as under moderately suitable category. In Ranchi district which consists of Ranchi

and Khunti districts area under marginally and moderately suitable category was 41 % and 31 % of

cultivable waste are 9815 Ha and 7451 Ha, respectively.

Potential area for Tasar plant was identified based on Forest type map prepared by Indian

Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS). Importance Value Index (Relative Frequency + Relative

Density + Relative Dominance) of primary host plants has been taken as criteria for identification of

potential area. Different forest types in Saraikela-Kharsawan district are sal forest, sal mixed forest

and moist deciduous forest. A total of 65 % of forest area has been identified under highly suitable

category and rest of the area under moderately suitable category.

The present study has been conducted with an aim of assessing

irrigation potential created in AIBP (Accelerated Irrigation Benefit

Program) funded irrigation projects through mapping of irrigation

infrastructure using Cartosat (2.5 m resolution) satellite data. This

report deals with results of satellite data analysis of Sone

Modernization Project. Identification and mapping of existing irrigation

26


network with Main canal/Branch canal/Distributaries/Lateral & Sub-lateral was done from the

satellite image at 1:4,000 to 1:2,000 scales. In addition to the canal network, the associated

irrigation and drainage structures were also identified and inventoried. Thus, the inventory of

information in terms of number of canals, their chainages and respective lengths were computed

for AIBP component area of Sone Canal Command Area. In addition to this, the status of canals

was also assessed in terms of completed or incomplete or pending based on the satellite data

inventory information. The satellite data assessed irrigation potential is compared with the field

reported irrigation potential estimates and the balance irrigation potential. Also different cross-

drainage structures like syphons, other cross drainage structures such as H.P.Cs etc and others

were found to be completed on low level and high level canals. The total proposed I.P under low

level and high level canals provided by field offices was only 8,24,140 ha against U.I.P of 9,00,000

ha. Therefore, I.P created was assessed only for 8,24,140 ha. The Irrigation Potential created in

the Sone canal modernization project based on Cartosat data analysis is assessed as 6,04,300 ha.

as against the proposed Irrigation Potential of 8,24,140 ha. only. The satellite assessed I.P of

6,04,300 ha is distributed under Eastern Sone high level, Eastern sone low level , Western Sone

Identification and mapping of existing irrigation network with Main

canal/Branch canal/Distributaries/Lateral & Sub-lateral was done from the satellite image at

1:4,000 to 1:2,000 scales. In addition to the canal network, the associated irrigation and drainage

structures were also identified and inventoried. The digital map base for the study area with

rivers/streams, roads/rail, and villages, etc. using high resolution data is prepared and used further

for preparing map outputs. Thus, the inventory of information in terms of number of canals, their

chainages and respective lengths were computed for AIBP component area of Western Kosi

project. In addition to this, the status of canals was also assessed in terms of completed or

incomplete or pending based on the satellite data inventory information. Then, the above inventory

was compared field reported irrigation potential estimates and the balance irrigation potential thus

assessed at distributaries level / branch / main canal and project level is presented in the study.

The irrigation potential was assessed using the irrigation infrastructure derived from the satellite

27


data. The overall Irrigation Potential created in the Western Kosi Main Canal Project based on

Cartosat data analysis is assessed as 49,171 ha. and 33,701 ha. up to minor and water course

level respectively (which includes 26,276 ha. created before AIBP corresponding to a CCA of

22,750 ha) as against the proposed Ultimate Irrigation Potential of 2,34,811 ha. Thus, the

balance I.P yet to be created is estimated as 1,85,640 ha and 2,01,111 ha. up to minor and water

course level respectively. The balance I.P yet to be created up to minor level is distributed mostly

28. eGSWARAJ - GRAM SWARAJ: DIGITAL APPROACH E-GOVERNANCE INITIATIVE FOR NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, A PILOT PROJECT FOR SIMDEGA DISTRICT, JHARKHAND STATE

E-governance may be understood as the performance of this governance via the electronic

medium in order to facilitate an efficient, speedy and transparent process of disseminating

information to the public, and other agencies, and for performing

government administration activities. E-governance is generally

considered as a wider concept than e-government, since it can

bring about a change in the way how citizens relate to

governments and to each other. E-governance can bring forth new

concepts of citizenship, both in terms of citizen needs and

responsibilities. Its objective is to engage, enable and empower

the citizen. The Jharkhand State has already embarked upon the technology initiating State Wide

Area Networks (SWAN) called “JHARNET” to facilitate electronic access of the state and district

administration and services to the citizens in villages. It is an attempt to lead the technology to the

door steps of the villagers and common citizens to harness the potentials in and around them for

the higher level of attainment in the income, development, better living standards and overall well

being. Geographical Information System (GIS), which basically handles spatial data in the form of

Maps, Pictures and integrates them with non-spatial data, is one such technology that has found

application in every area without exception. For technological advancements, the enhancements of

GIS technology with more routine processing of documents, information inquiries and decision

support are important and urgent. GIS related methods and techniques will help formulate a proper

development strategy in order to meet the service gaps and strengthen overall rural development

of the state. The integrated approach empowering vulnerable people to make better choices and

can have better control of their own development and also the policy makers and administrators for

eGovernance. The project aims towards generation of spatial information at block level and lastly

29


Simdega District by executing high-resolution remote sensing satellite data.

The Prime objective of this project is oriented towards providing information on various

development and management scenarios to decision makers from top to the people at grass root

for the eGovernance and integrated sustainable development of resources at the Village,

Panchayat, Block and District level. The objectives of the project are designed by combining latest

Information and Communication Technology and Space Technologies with GIS tools for the

development of village economy and community of entire Jharkhand State to build capacities and

communicate information as well as spread knowledge and awareness related to various spheres

of rural development with special reference to the Scheduled Tribe dealing with land, water, forest,

agriculture, infrastructure, communication, education, health, livelihood opportunities, etc.. Natural

resource layers were generated using the LISS-IV data in GIS environment, thematic layers are

like land use land cover, geomorphology, geology, soil, slope, ground water prospects, transport

network, administrative boundary and other related spatial and non spatial geo-database are

generated to develop district resources planning in for watershed development by overlaying all the

realted thematic layers of the project area Simdega district for land and water resources action

plan generation by prioritization of micro watershed using morphometric parameters.

entire Jharkhand based on Land Use type, physiography, slope and Agro

ecological sub region to collect the soil samples in different soil types of

Jharkhand. At each site soil profile was studied and the soil sample was

analyzed for different physical and chemical properties. Physical properties

analyzed were soil depth, soil texture and bulk density. Different chemical

attributes analyzed were pH, organic carbon, electrical conductivity, Cation

exchange capacity, calcium carbonate, Base saturation etc.

32. NATIONAL CARBON PROJECT (NCP) -VEGETATION CARBON POOL ASSESSMENT (FIRST PHASE)

The project was taken as a component for assessment of Vegetation Carbon Pool under

National Carbon Pool (NCP) project in different forests of Ranchi, Khunti, Hazaribag, Ramgarh,

Gumla and Simdega districts of Jharkhand. Field data was

collected in first phase of project. The forest areas were

classified in different density classes using Normalized

Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Clustered sampling

was planned in order to obtain better relationship of ground

measurement with satellite derived parameter. Therefore four sample plots of 0.1 ha were laid at

each site within an area of 250m×250m. One permanent sample plot was established at each site

by fixing a steel plate at the base of the trees. Within each plots all the trees were counted,

identified and measured for circumference at breast height (cbh). Plots for shrub and herb layers

were laid within 0.1 ha plot. Shrub tillers were counted in two plots of 5m X 5m in opposite corners.

Herb individuals were counted in four plots of 1m X 1 m in each corner of 0.1 ha plot. Plots were

also laid in Tree Outside Forest (TOF) areas covering linear plantations, block plantations and

scattered trees. For estimating phytomass plant material was collected from tree, shrub and herb

layers and oven dried. Ground data collected will be processed for estimating biomass and carbon.

33. NATIONAL URBAN INFORMATION SYSTEM (NUIS) RANCHI, JAMSHEDPUR, BOKARO, DHANBAD & HAZARIBAG

The Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India has launched the National Urban

Information System (NUIS) scheme in March 2006 on a National Mission mode. The NUIS scheme

comprises two major components i.e a) Urban Spatial Information System (USIS) to meet the

spatial requirements of urban planning and b) National Urban Databank and indicators (NUDB&I)

to develop town level database. The spatial and attribute databases thus generated will be useful

for preparation of Master/Development plans detailed town planning Schemes and serve as

31


decision support for e-Governance.

Urbanization is a natural consequence of economic changes that

take place and helps to contribute to the growth process at large. Urban

planning need detailed information on the distribution of land and its use

in city and its surroundings under National Urban Information System to

map the urban areas and its surroundings in 1:10,000 scale using high

resolution satellite data for the cities in the state which aims help the state

to organize/maintain a systematic database for the cities of the Jharkhand

State.

Under NUIS-Jharkhand, five towns of Jharkhand namely; 1.Bokaro Steel City, Dhanbad,

Jamshedpur, Mango and Ranchi were taken up by Ministry of Urban Development, Govt of India,

the generation of USIS for these five cities were awarded to Jharkhand Space Applications Centre

(JSAC) through Survey of India and National Remote Sensing Centre in July, 2009. JSAC has

completed generation of Urban Spatial Information System in 1:10,000 scale using Indian Remote

sensing satellite’s Panchromatic sensor of 2.5 m spatial resolution and Linear Imaging Self

Scanner (LISS-IV) data of 5.8 m merged data for Ranchi City by August 2009. The Urban Spatial

information mapping for the other four cities was initiated and will be completing by Mar 2011.

This NUIS-Jharkhand website is developed to host the results of Urban Spatial Information

System, so that state level State Town Planning Department and urban local bodies such as

Municipal Corporation can utilize this information for further development planning activity. At

present, the USIS for Ranchi City is hosted.

35. LAND RECORDS INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR LOHARDAGA DISTRICT (VASUDHA)

The VASUDHA web-enabled GIS application is the first

application in the country to integrate land records (Khatian and

Cadastra/Revenue Maps) and host online. The application

facillitated with online parcel map as well as Register-II data for the

raiyats..

Land Information System - VASUDHA was design and

developed with the functionality of Add layer, Remove layer, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Map view and

32


tabular view etc was sufficient to effectively store, display, manage and analyze land data.

Although Remote sensing data and GIS Software were used to prepared maps and database but

the developed application was design to run independent of the GIS software which adds the low

cost to the application. Application was designed for the users who were not specialized in the

remote sensing and GIS. Little knowledge to operate computer is sufficient to use the application.

With the help of developed application user can visualize the ground realities and can better

understands the land data. Application is very useful in planning and development of the village

The objective of the project is mapping of ward wise enumeration blocks which were

demarcated by officer of Census of Jharkhand office. The entire databases are stored in

geodatabase

format. Maps were composed Enumeration block wise. The total 1609 enumeration blocks maps

and 55 wards map were composed in GIS domain and successfully delivered to Census of

Jharkhand.

engineering, Ground water exploration and hydrology, environmental studies, Integrated land and

National Geomorphological and Lineament mappingis a collaborated project of

NRSC,ISRO and JSAC on 1:50000 scale under Natural

Resource Census (NRS) using remote sensing satellite data

and GIS techniques is envisaged to generate a database,

which will meet the requirement of different organizations like

GSI, DOS, CGWB, MECL, AMD, ONGC, IBM, NEERI, WIHG,

NGRI and other organizations for Mineral exploration, Geo

water resources development, Disaster mitigation and management. In this project a hierarchical

system of landform classification, which is a modification of the pure genetic based classification,

was adopted after consensus between GIS and ISRO. This system is a three level classification

scheme having more than 200 landform units.

The project reveals that in Jharkhand almost 83.52% area is under geomorphic units of

Denudational origin. Land forms of Structural, Fluvial and Anthropogenic origin are 12.50, 1.45 and

0.27 per cent respectivly. River and water body spread is around 2.25 per cent area.

irrigation infrastructure using Cartosat (2.5 m resolution)

satellite data. This report deals with results of satellite data

analysis of Western Kosi Main Canal, Bihar State. Identification

and mapping of existing irrigation network with Main

canal/Branch canal/Distributaries/Lateral & Sub-lateral was

done from the satellite image at 1:4,000 to 1:2,000 scales. In

addition to the canal network, the associated irrigation and

drainage structures were also identified and inventoried. The digital map base for the study area

with rivers/streams, roads/rail, and villages, etc. using high resolution data is prepared and used

further for preparing map outputs. Thus, the inventory of information in terms of number of canals,

their chainages and respective lengths were computed for AIBP component area of Western Kosi

project. In addition to this, the status of canals was also assessed in terms of completed or

incomplete or pending based on the satellite data inventory information. Then, the above inventory

was compared field reported irrigation potential estimates and the balance irrigation potential thus

assessed at distributaries level / branch / main canal and project level is presented in the study.
