Rubber Research body uses satellite derived maps to delineate rubber plantations
The Rubber Investigation Institute of India has correctly delineated rubber plantations into very low, medium and significant landslide danger classes working with satellite-derived maps of the distribution of rubber plantations and the district-wise landslide susceptibility zones developed by the Kerala Point out Catastrophe Management Authority.
These landslide inclined zones had been geared up by integrating multiple databases like topographical maps, remote sensing knowledge, floor real truth and geo-specialized investigations. The landslide zones had been analysed geo-spatially with satellite-derived rubber plantation maps.
“We can advocate growers to undertake excellent agricultural methods at a location in accordance to its vulnerability to landslides as well as cultural functions that should really not be undertaken to minimise the impact of landslides”, the officers claimed.
