Geological / Geomorphological Mapping
Geological and geomorphological mapping using satellite images form primary inputs to all remote sensing application projects. Identification and updation of broad lithological units, mapping of faults, fractures are essential for hydrogeological, geo-hazard, geo-environment and geo-technical studies. Similarly, geomorphology provides a framework for understanding current and historical behaviour of landform response w.r.t. both long-term and short-term effect on the environment. NRSC in collaboration with Geological Survey of India mapped geomorphology of India on 1:50,000 scale under the National Geomorphology and Lineament Project (NGLM) using a new classification system developed based on the landform genesis. A total of 417 types of landforms with 11 genetic classes were mapped.
Ground Water Prospects Mapping
Drinking Water technology mission is one of the five technology missions launched by the then Prime Minister of India (1986). Under this initiative NRSC has developed methodology and prepared Groundwater Prospects Map on 1:50,000 scale for the entire country
Geomorphological Mapping (GEM) ni map ya kijiolojia na geomorphological mapping kwa kutumia picha za satelaiti fomu ya pembejeo ya msingi kwa miradi yote ya maombi ya remote sensing. Kutambuliwa na kusasishwa kwa vitengo vya lithological pana, ramani ya makosa, fractures ni muhimu kwa hydrogeological, geo-hatari, geo- mazingira na geo-kiufundi masomo. Kwa hiyo, geomorphology hutoa mfumo wa kuelewa tabia ya sasa na ya kihistoria ya majibu ya ardhi w.r.t. athari za muda mrefu na za muda mfupi kwa mazingira. NRSC, kwa kushirikiana na Utafiti wa Jiolojia wa India, ilichora ramani ya jiolojia ya India kwa kiwango cha 1: 50,000 chini ya Mradi wa Kitaifa wa Jiolojia na Lineament (NGLM) kwa kutumia mfumo mpya wa uainishaji uliotengenezwa kulingana na asili ya muundo wa ardhi. Kwa jumla, aina 417 za maumbile ya ardhi na madarasa 11 ya maumbile yalichorwa ramani. Utafiti wa maji ya chini ya ardhi, ramani ya matarajio ya maji ya kunywa, na teknolojia ya maji ya kunywa ni moja ya misheni tano ya teknolojia iliyoanzishwa na Waziri Mkuu wa India wa wakati huo (1986). NRSC imepanga na kuandaa ramani ya maji ya chini ya ardhi kwa kiwango cha 1: 50,000.
