Mapping of soil degradation hazards by remote sensing in Hanumangarh District (Western Rajasthan) [1]

In the present study, efforts have been made to identify and map areas affected by various soil degradation processes in Hanumangarh district of western Rajasthan. Soil degradation processes were identified by using IRS-1B satellite image of the year 1998, SOI topsheets, ground truth verification and soil studies.
