Assessment of Intensity and Susceptibility of Gully Erosion through Multiple Discriminate Factors Analysis using Geospatial Techniques in Birbhum District of Rarh Region of West Bengal
Abstract:The present study focuses on the identification of the intensity and susceptibility of gully erosion and induced soil erosion in the selected areas of Birbhum district of West Bengal, India. The geospatial techniques have been employed using the meticulous remotely sensed satellite data of Birbhum district. The composite gully erosion susceptibility maps have been prepared based on the aggregation of the normalized values of each indicator using factor analysis of the year 2001. It reveals from the maps that R… Show more
