Abstract

Monitoring of land use and land cover (LULC) change is important to study the changes in the ecosystem. In the present study, we attempted to study the impact of LULC change on groundwater regime by analysing time series Landsat satellite data for years 1989, 1995, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, & 2019 in Narkhed–Pandhurna critical zone observatory located in the Narkhed–Pandhurna region covering parts of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. The crop classification was also attempted for the years 2015 and 2019 using Sentinel 2 data. The accuracy assessment was carried out by the help of field verification and Google Earth data. The results indicate that the agricultural, barren land and built-up area have increased by 10.99 km2, 0.36 km2 and 0.84 km2 respectively. The area under vegetation (orange orchards and forest) has decreased by 13.14 km2 and area of water bodies has increased by 0.94 km2. The increase in agricultural area is supported by groundwater development that led to decline in long-term groundwater levels, which is indicated by 3 decades of groundwater level monitoring in the study area. The increase in agriculture is also indicated by high concentration of nitrate in groundwater that exceeding the drinking water maximum permissible limits of the Bureau of Indian standards in the region.
