Groundwater studies
challenges
Continuous monitoring and planning is required to meet the demands of the
Fine spatial resolution helps to capture fine details in the urban areas
Infrastructure planning
Environmental planning
Mapping of environmental parameters like green cover, surface water bodies and drainages
Urban land use indicators
Development of Urban Information System (UIS), Urban Indicator Observatory (UIO), Municipal
Information System (MIS) etc.
Permeable rocks to hold steam or water must be present near the heat source
There must be a natural recharge system to produce the steam or hot water
An impermeable zone above the reservoir to prevent the escape of steam to the surface
Remote sensing techniques can be effectively used to identify the fault lines and
fractures
Difference is maximum in case of wet snow and hence can be easily identified
Difference is insignificant in case of dry snow and hence is difficult to differentiate from bare
ground

Structural damage
Basic concept (DellAcqua and Gamba, 2012)
Manmade structures possess more or less regular shape and pattern.
Any structural damage generally causes visible changes to this shape

After tsunami
