REMOTE SENSING PROCESS
GIS
Quarries
• It can also tell you which areas are the most hazardous or most
dangerous for everyone, more specifically for asthma patients. This
analysis can help the field officers to take corrective action on time to
improve the air quality. Citizen engagement is also becoming an
important part of such applications. Using mobile apps, the citizens can
also make the authorities aware which areas need immediate attention.
Applications of GIS in Environment pollution
mitigation
GIS in forest fire management
• Wildfire causes huge loss to flora and fauna. The very first
strategy to defend the forests against wildfire is to avoid it.
GIS has proved its potential in forest fire management.
• There are different applications of GIS in forest fire
management out of which the most important ones are hazard
map production, forest fire simulation, and resource
management.
• Simulation by itself has a main role in the management of
forest fire. GIS uses various information layers such as Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) and index of flammability along with
different models for the purpose of forest fire management.
Applications of GIS in Environment pollution
mitigation
GIS in managing natural resources
• Data about natural resources could be collected through remote sensing,
aerial photography or satellite imagery and then they are mapped using
GIS technology. The major application of GIS in natural resource
management is in confronting environmental issues like a flood,
landslide, soil erosions, drought, earthquake etc.
• It also addresses the current problems of climate change, habitat loss,
population growth, pollution etc. and provides information about land
area change between time periods.
• The information obtained from GIS help to study specific areas and
monitoring can be done in and around those areas. It provides relevant
information about the environmental condition and policy, including
conservation programs. Maps in GIS provide the information of location
and current resources.
Applications of Remote Sensing in
Environment pollution mitigation
• The environmental pollution and its monitoring is the matter
of concern for sustainable development. Conventionally
environmental pollution and planning is generally being
carried out in four phases, viz. monitoring, modeling,
development of decisions by planner and finally by execution.
• It has been found that remote sensing environmental pollution
monitoring equipment's have the capability to assess the
pollution status in the desired area that may be more beneficial
for environmental pollution management
Applications of Remote Sensing in
Environment pollution mitigation
• Today there are number of satellites mapping the earth
constantly. In India, the National Remote Sensing Centre
(NRSC) is the focal point for distribution of remote sensing
satellite data products in India and its neighboring countries.
• NRSC has an earth station at Balanagar, about 55Km from
Hyderabad, to receive data from almost all contemporary
remote sensing satellites such as IRS-P5, IRS-P6, IRS-P4,
IRS-1D, IRS1C, IRS-P3, ERS-1/2, NOAA series, AQUA and
TERRA satellites
Applications of Remote Sensing in
Environment pollution mitigation
• In addition to the above-mentioned satellites, ENVISAT,
OCEAN SAT, CARTOSAT, WiFS, LISS series, RADAR SAT
etc. are some more important satellites whose data is used for
the detection of environmental pollution. Following pictures
depicts recent tragic accident of the “Mumbai oil spilt” in the
Arabian Sea.
• Remote sensing data may be used for the study of water
quality, air quality, land use and land degradation, forest cover
change, fire detection etc. The remote sensing data is available
from NRSC at concessional rate as well as on Internet
(Download from Global Land Cover Facility (GLCF)).
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
• Agriculture
• Construction (Road networks, Malls, Townships, Dam etc)
• Industries
• Electrical projects
• Waste disposal
• Any developmental projects around Protected Areas / Nature
Preserves
• Clean Development Mechanism CDM projects
The EIA Directive
• The EIA Directive requires projects likely to have significant
effects on the Environment by virtue of their nature, size or
location to undergo an environmental assessment before the
competent authority in question grants consent.
• Compliance
• the act of reaching and maintaining minimal legal standards
• Reduce Waste
• to reduce environmental impact
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR
STADARDIZATION
• In September 1996, Standardization published the first edition
of ISO 14001, the EMS standard.

Environmental Management System (EMS)
• The following examples are actions that lead to reduced carbon footprint or
use of natural resources.
• NGOs have been around for many years and strive for the
global change that we need.
• While some have significant resources, most others need
funding by donations and volunteers to do their work.
• With scientists predicting imminent environmental dangers,
the time for action has never been more pressing.
• World NGO Day, observed annually on 27 February, was
recognised on 17 April 2010
