Environmental problems analysis of coal mining in Raniganj & Asansol using GIS [1]

Coal mining destroys or significantly alters all the physical features that influence the capabilities of the land. Mining is the only land use for a long time without reclamation mining operations usually produce large qualities of wastes, overburden and under grade ore materials etc. The present study of areas Asansole and Raniganj blocks situated in Raniganj Coal Belt (RCB), which lies in Burdwan districts of West Bengal state in India. This paper discusses the remote sensing and GIS techniques used for identification of various land use/land covers of satellite imagery and identification of time sequential changes in land use patterns.
