The escalating impacts of climate change necessitate a focused analysis of flood vulnerability in ecologically fragile and densely inhabited mountain areas, particularly in the Himalayan region. This study concentrates on the Kullu Valley within the Beas Basin, Himachal Pradesh, India, a locale characterized by its intricate terrain and dynamic...

Forests play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and provide numerous benefits. The monitoring and managing of large-scale forest plantations can be challenging and expensive. In recent years, advancements in remote sensing technologies, such as lightweight drones and object-oriented image analysis, have opened up new possibilities for...

This study employed an advanced geospatial methodology using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to assess soil erosion in the Satluj Watershed thoroughly. To achieve this, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model was integrated into the study, which was revealed through several analytical tiers, each with a unique function. The...

This study addresses the concerning mortality of Pinus wallichiana (blue pine), a crucial timber species in the northwestern Himalayas, specifically within the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR)––a UNESCO world heritage site in India. Hazard prediction mapping was carried out during the study period (2018–2021) using the MaxEnt program and...

India’s national government has offered strong support for the development of green hydrogen as part of the clean energy transition. However, much of the actual progress in this transition will depend on subnational governments. This paper argues India’s subnational governments have significant potential to capitalise on diverse natural resource...

The construction of large-scale infrastructure projects like dams can substantially alter local hydrological systems, prompting concerns about their impacts on river water levels and discharge. This study was undertaken in response to the compelling need to investigate and analyze the potential implications of water scarcity, particularly within...

This study utilises a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to assess flooding susceptibility in a specific area, integrating diverse environmental datasets such as JRC Global Surface Water, Landsat 8 images, and SRTM elevation data. Employing the GEE FMA, a powerful tool leveraging Google Earth Engine capabilities, the analysis covers water...

Coastal aquifers are hydraulically connected to the sea and a storm (cyclone/hurricane) can disrupt the surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interaction process which is largely unexplored. Thus, this study aims to explore the impact of storm surges (both positive and negative) on coastal aquifers, focusing on pollutant mobilization, groundwater level...

This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of hydrological patterns in the Kalisindh and Parbati Rivers, highlighting the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) as pivotal for bolstering regional water security. Employing an array of data sources, this research utilizes Polynomial Regression and neural network forecasting to dissect flow patterns...

Groundwater is crucial for agriculture, domestic use, and industry. This study represents groundwater potential zones in the Amravati district, Maharashtra, India, using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-influencing factor (MIF) techniques. These techniques are employed for a detailed spatial analysis, which is essential for...
