This work reports an attempt to make use of the indigenously developed high resolution IRS-1C satellite imagery to generate a database, including expertize from different organizations involved in floral, soil, microbial, hydro, socio-economic and geological fields. In the absence of large scale topographic maps, high resolution precision geocoded PAN + LISS-III imageries at 1 : 12,500 were used. This final database was subsequently integrated in the geographic information system environment1 and was used to address queries of the user organization pertaining to area statistics, location, water potential, soil suitability, agricultural suitability according the prevailing ecological conditions, etc.
