Mapping of Waterlogged And Salt Affected Area In North Western Haryana Using Geospatial Technology

Over the last four decades, the water level in canal irrigated areas has increased at a rate of 10 to 30 cm per year, with about 473,400 ha of land coming within 3 m of the ground surface in June 1996, resulting in land loss due to waterlogging and secondary salinization. Fatehabad and Sirsa is gravely hit by waterlogging and soil salinity. 62.06 sq. km region of the study area is under various classifications of badlands that was 2.45 percent of the complete geographical zone of the district. Geo spatial technology gives arising instruments to mapping, monitoring and the board of waterlogged and salt influenced zone. Presented study is based on the mapping of waterlogging and salt affected area in north western Haryana
