Land Use Modelling

Authors: Dimri, A.P., Chevuturi, Amulya
Illustrates Western Disturbances (WDs) and describes their structure, migration and dynamics
Details the influence of WDs over India during the different seasons of the Indian annual climatic cycle
Reviews the possible positive and negative impacts of WDs and considers them in the changing climate

This book is intended for researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in the current trends and want to make their GI applications and research dynamic. Time is the key element of contemporary GIS: mobile and wearable electronics, sensor networks, UAVs and other mobile snoopers, the IoT and many other resources produce a massive amount of data every minute, which is naturally located in space as well as in time.

This book explores scientific and practical solutions to incorporating life cycle approaches into strategic and operational decision making.

An in-depth review of sustainable concepts in water resources management under climate change
Climate change continues to intensify existing pressures in water resources management, such as rapid population growth, land use changes, pollution, damming of rivers, and many others. Securing a reliable water supply—critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—requires understanding of the relation between finite water resources, climate variability/change, and various elements of sustainability. Water, Climate Change, and Sustainability is a timely and in-depth examination of the concept of sustainability as it relates to water resources management in the context of climate change risks.
