In order to monitor the significant variation on thesurface of the earth, the land use land cover mapping over theperiod of certain interval, the analysis of changes can be doneaccurately in command area. Due to human and natural causes,the changes in vegetation quality, water body and agriculturalland, salt affected area, etc impact on policies. The land use /land cover map of Ukai Right Bank Canal command area detectthe changes between year 1998-99 and 2014. These changes canbe monitored with the help of aerial photography and remotelysensed data and has also been proved cost effective. Land use/land cover changes very consistently and it is required to bemonitored for an issues related to better environment. Digitaldata obtained from satellite imageries give accuracy incomputation of land use/land cover monitoring. This papermonitor the changes in various category of command area and ithas been notice the considerable increase in Crop area by 4302Ha due to over all agricultural development in last 2 decades.Similarly, the water body in command area is increased by 2624Ha due fishing activity have been developed. It alsodemonstrates capabilities of GIS and Remote Sensing in thisfield of terrain mapping and detects the geological and physicalchanges.
