Water Conservation
GIS can be used to map water resources such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater aquifers. By understanding the location and extent of these resources, conservation efforts can be targeted more effectively.
Change Detection
Lonar Lake, located in Maharashtra, India, is known for its unique red coloration in certain areas of the water. This phenomenon is primarily attributed to the presence of microbial life, particularly microorganisms like algae and bacteria, which thrive in the lake's high saline and alkaline environment.
Some bacteria, such as Halobacterium salinarum, also contribute to the red coloration. These bacteria produce pigments called carotenoids, which can tint the water red under certain conditions.
"GIS (Geographic Information System) and remote sensing are powerful tools that complement each other and are often used together for various applications, including environmental monitoring, natural resource management, urban planning, disaster response, and more."
