LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

37. Introduction about historical usage of windmills
• Wind energy, one amongst the world's fastest growing energy source, is a clean and
renewable source of energy that has been in use for centuries in Europe and more
recently in different parts of the world.
• And todays world wind energy is one of the cheapest and cleanest energy source.
• Over 5,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians used wind power to sail their ships on
the Nile River.
• Later people built windmills to grind their grain. The earliest known windmills were
in Persia (the area now occupied by Iran). The early windmills looked like large
paddle wheels.
• Centuries later, the people in Holland improved the windmill. They gave it propeller-
type blades and made it so it could be turned to face the wind.
Windmills helped Holland become one of the world's most industrialized countries
by the 17th century.

• American colonists used windmills to grind wheat and corn, to pump water, and
to cut wood at sawmills.
• Last century, people used windmills to generate electricity in rural areas that did
not have electric service. When power lines began to transport electricity to rural
areas in the 1930s, the electric windmills were used less and less.
• Then in the early 1970s, oil shortages created an environment eager for
alternative energy sources, paving the way for the re-entry of the electric
windmill on the world landscape.

39. Resources
• All renewable energy (except tidal and geothermal power), and even
the energy in fossil fuels, ultimately comes from the sun. The sun
radiates of 1.74 x 1017 watts energy to the earth per hour.
• About 1 to 2 per cent of the energy coming from the sun is converted
into wind energy. That is about 50 to 100 times more than the energy
converted into biomass by all plants on earth.
• Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the earth's surface by the
sun. Since the earth's surface is made up of land, desert, water, and
forest areas, the surface absorbs the sun's radiation differently.

44. Cut in speed:
Minimum wind speed at which the blades will turn. 3.5 m/s to 13 m/s.
Rated speed:
The wind speed at which the windmill generates its rated power. Usually it levels off
in power beyond this speed. 13 to 27 m/s.
Cut out speed:
Usually at wind speeds above 27 m/s, the windmill is stopped to prevent damage.

84. Solar PV for Happy and Safe Future
85
• With a lot of investment in solar PV area by the world
governments, it is going to be one of the major player
in power industry.
• As People are becoming more Conscious and
Concerned about environmental degradation, they are
turning towards clean and cost effective solution to
power requirement.
• In Germany, one can find almost all the commercial
and residential buildings with solar PV rooftops.
86. Biomass Energy
• What is it?
– Biomass energy is the use of living and recently dead biological material as
an energy source
– Ultimately dependent on the capture of solar energy and conversion to a
chemical (carbohydrate) fuel
– Theoretically it is a carbon neutral and renewable source of energy
• How it works?
– Traditional: forest management, using wood as fuel
– Use of biodegradable waste
• Examples: manure, crop residue, sewage, municipal solid waste
– Recent interest in agricultural production of energy crops
• Should be high yield and low maintenance
• Examples: corn, sugarcane, switchgrass, hemp, willow, palm oil, rapeseed, and
many others
• Does not have to be a food crop
• Recent interest in bioengineered (GM) plants as fuel sources
– Production of a liquid or gaseous biofuel
• Biogas due to the breakdown of biomass in the absence of O2
– Includes capture of landfill methane
• Bioethanol from fermentation, often from corn. Cellulosic bioethanol is usually
from a grass (switchgrass)
• Biodiesel from rapeseed and other sources
87. Biomass Energy
• Carbon neutral
– CO2 ultimately released in energy generation is recently captured and so ideally
does not change total atmospheric levels
– Carbon leaks can result in a net increase in CO2 levels
– Sequestration in soil can result in a net decrease in CO2 levels
88. Biomass Energy
• Advantages
– Versatile
– Renewable
– No net CO2 emissions (ideally)
– Emits less SO2 and NOx than fossil fuels
• Disadvantages
– Low energy density/yield
• In some cases (eg, corn-derived bioethanol) may yield no net energy
– Land conversion
• Biodiversity loss
• Possible decrease in agricultural food productivity
– Usual problems associated with intensive agriculture
• Nutrient pollution
• Soil depletion
• Soil erosion
• Other water pollution problems
89. Geothermal Energy
• How it works
– Geothermal power plants
• Use earth’s heat to power steam turbines
– Geothermal direct use
• Use hot springs (etc) as heat source
– Geothermal heat pumps
• Advantages
– Renewable
– Easy to exploit in some cases
– CO2 production less than with fossil fuels
– High net energy yield
• Disadvantages
– Not available everywhere
– H2S pollution
– Produces some water pollution (somewhat similar to mining)
90. Conclusion
91
• Among renewable energy sources, Solar PV is
proving to be the major source of energy
generation globally along with the wind.
• There is an ample opportunities in the area of
solar PV both in terms of employment and R & D.
• Sustainable development around the world.
