3 SATELLITE IMAGERY REPORT FOR 1.1 INTRODUCTION This report furnishing site details covering 5 km radius around the proposed site is based on Geographic Information System (GIS) that include, apart from other, Vicinity Map, Topography, Land Use, Drainage Pattern that provides segregated and clarified maps for better understanding of the basic features of the site and its surroundings. The maps generated using GIS techniques are enclosed with relevant explanations and illustrations. 1.2 METHODOLOGY The term Geographic Information System applies to computerized information storage, processing, analyzing and retrieval systems that have hardware and software specifically designed to cope with geographically referenced spatial data and corresponding attribute information. Spatial data are commonly in the form of maps depicting topography, water resource, forests and grasslands, climate, geology, settlement, landownership, administrative boundaries, infrastructure (highways, railways, electricity and transportation network), etc. The capability of combining different maps in a single operation, known as overlaying", is one of the most important GIS functions, together with modeling and site selection. The Analysis and preparation of the various maps in this document is prepared vide ESRI ArcMap 10.1 TM. Image Source: Esri, DigitalGlobe, GeoEye, i-cubed, USDA, USGS, AEX, Getmapping, Aerogrid, IGN, IGP, swisstopo, and the GIS User Community A standard methodology involving Satellite Images has been used in the present project for the GIS Mapping. Satellite Data from satellite imagery for the world and high-resolution imagery for the United States and other areas around the world Is used for this project.map Images for the satellite images are prepared and uploaded by ESRI. Thereafter, digitization has been done in a GIS environment of ESRI ArcMap 10.1 TM. Digitization has been done as per layering scheme, symbology and colour coding followed by the binging out a digital image as an exact replica of the base map. The Non-Spatial Data has been attached accordingly, from data provided and the desired output in form of Thematic Maps has been obtained. The digitization process has been accompanied by ground truthing and relevant field and GPS Survey. The Field Verification has also helped in further process for detail Land Use/Land Cover Mapping. Once the initial verification and correction has been done, the Land Use Map has been prepared. The Attribute Data has been used significantly for producing Theme Based Maps which eases the process of analysis and decision making. The final compositions have been done as Regional Setting Map, Land use Map, Vicinity Map and Drainage Map. 1 P age IMC LIMITED

4 SATELLITE IMAGERY REPORT FOR The methodology flow sheet is given below. METHODOLOGY FLOW SHEET Identification of the project site in the Satellite Image Collection of Base Data (Toposheet, other Base Maps and Data) Geo-referencing of Image with reference to Toposheet Ground Truthing- GPS aided Field Survey Digitization in GIS Environment Preparation of Maps Interpretation and Analysis 2 P age IMC LIMITED

5 SATELLITE IMAGERY REPORT FOR 1.3 GIS MAP Subsequent to, geo-referencing, digitization of the image and different layers are prepared and composed into following maps. The Basic satellite imagery map is enclosed as Figure-1 : Satellite Imagery Map Regional Setting Map The Regional Setting Map gives an overall view of the location of the project site in reference to the neighboring state, district and towns. It indicates communication links including State/ National Highways and Railway. The Project Site is located in Budge- Budge, West Bengal. The approximate longitude-latitude of the centroid of the proposed site are as follows: Longitude : E (approx.) Latitude : "N (approx.) The location of the project site with respect to the topo sheet is given as Figure 2. The Regional Setting Map is given in Figure Vicinity Map Vicinity applies to the major features around the proposed project site. It presents the location of settlements, industry, major roads, rivers and forest etc. within 10km radius in respect to the project site. It does help to analyze and visualize the access road, man made sensitive environment (habitation, school, hospital, etc). There are number of villages in the study area; location of villages with respect to the project site is in Figure Drainage Map It presents the drainage network with major rivers, streams and canals within the given area with the direction of flow of major channels. 3 P age IMC LIMITED

6 SATELLITE IMAGERY REPORT FOR The main water bodies surrounding the project site are Churial Khal and River Ganga. Budge Budge city drainage is routed to the Churial khal as the main rain water receiving body of the town. It starts from the south of Khabaria road on the southern side of municipal boundary and flows towards the north westerly direction for ultimate discharge to river Ganga. There is another khal flows from south towards north almost parallel to Churialkhal and both meet at a confluence point. This khal is also utilized as one of the storm water discharging bodies for the present drainage system. Thereafter the combined discharge under the same name ChurialKhal flow to river Ganga. The Drainage map of the study area is given in Figure Land Use Map Land use is defined as the way a land is developed and used in terms of the types of activities allowed (agriculture, residence, industries and so on). It is the analysis of land according to its use and relates to the purpose, need or use of land. It presents the land use categories within 10 km radius. Land Use Pattern of the Study Area S. No. Landuse Division Area (ha) Area (%) 1 Habitation = Industrial = Plantation = Water body = Cultivation = River = Low Lying Area = The land use in the study area is given in Figure 6. 4 P age IMC LIMITED
