Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) Mapping & GIS Services

Precision Geospatial Intelligence for Environmental Planning

Spatial data is the foundation of every accurate Environmental Impact Assessment. At San Envirotech, our dedicated GIS and Remote Sensing cell transforms complex satellite imagery into actionable intelligence. With expertise in mapping over 200 project sites, we provide high-resolution geospatial solutions that define project boundaries, identify sensitive receptors, and track environmental changes over time.

Our Expertise & Proven Track Record

With a legacy of over 200 completed EIA studies, San Envirotech is recognized for technical precision and regulatory integrity. Our multidisciplinary team ensures every project aligns with the latest MoEF&CC guidelines, facilitating a seamless transition from project conception to obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC).

Our Core GIS & Remote Sensing Services

1. Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) Mapping

Using multi-spectral satellite data (such as Sentinel or Landsat), we create detailed LULC maps to fulfill MoEF&CC requirements.

  • Classification: Categorizing terrain into industrial, agricultural, forest, water bodies, and settlements.
  • Change Detection: Analyzing historical satellite imagery to show land-use transitions over the last 10 years.
  • Impact Zone Analysis: Precise mapping of the 10km radius (Study Area) to identify ecologically sensitive areas.

2. Digital Terrain & Topographic Modeling

  • Digital Elevation Models (DEM): Creating 3D surface models to understand the site’s topography and drainage patterns.
  • Contour Mapping: Essential for engineering layouts, effluent discharge planning, and flood risk assessment.
  • Watershed & Drainage Analysis: Identifying natural flow paths to ensure industrial activities do not interfere with local hydrology.

3. Environmental Sensitivity Mapping

We map critical "No-Go" zones to ensure your project remains compliant with siting criteria:

  • Distance Buffers: Automated GIS mapping of distances from National Parks, Sanctuaries, Critically Polluted Areas (CPAs), and Interstate boundaries.
  • Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Mapping: For projects near coastlines, ensuring compliance with CRZ I, II, III, and IV classifications.

4. Thematic & Buffer Zone Mapping

  • Village-Level Maps: Correlating socio-economic data with geographic locations for Social Impact Assessments (SIA).
  • Greenbelt Planning: Digitally designing the 33% mandatory greenbelt area to optimize pollutant absorption based on wind direction and terrain.

Why San Envirotech’s GIS Services Excel?

  • Scientific Accuracy: We use advanced GIS software (ArcGIS/QGIS) integrated with ground-truthing to ensure that what we see on the satellite matches the reality on the ground.
  • Regulatory Readiness: Our maps are formatted specifically for EAC/SEAC presentations, ensuring that spatial data is clear, professional, and compliant with the EIA Notification 2006.
  • High-Resolution Data: We procure and process high-resolution satellite data to provide the granular detail required for large-scale Metallurgy, Power, and Infrastructure projects.
