Main Factor

Land is the most important natural resources as far as human beings are concerned. The utilization of land is changing due to the emerging growth of population. The consequences due to change in land use not only affect human beings but at the same time affect the ecosystem also. The emerging effect of change of land use due to urbanization results in flooding and drought condition. This study has been carried out to understand the land use and land cover changes using GIS in a semi-arid region, Kerala, India. For this, the study area has been selected as Muvattupuzha River Basin. Land use land cover changes studies are very much important for planners as well as economists for better land utilization. It has been concluded from the study that built up area has increased during the study period from 110.9 km2 to 504.42 km2 , which indicates that urbanization is the main factor which causes the bi-variational changes of land and flood occurrence.

This chapter presents the results of a study on the influence of streamflow variability on salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity in a semi-arid Tiva River Basin in Kenya. Measurements of salinity, TDS, conductivity and river discharges were undertaken in sampling stations by applying standard hydrologic methods. The study shows that there is a significant relationship between the variability of streamflow and the variability of salinity, conductivity and TDS in the river. The high salt concentrations were a result of high evapotranspiration and seepage of subterranean water from bank storage and groundwater aquifers. Inter-sub-basin variations in the levels of salinity were attributed to differences in land uses, lengths and sizes of the sub-basins. Sustainable irrigation and land use practices in the semi arid Tiva River Basin requires construction of water reservoirs for control of salinity levels in the river.
