- Land use / Land cover mapping using satellite data
- Drainage Pattern of the area
- Topographical Mapping
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM), Digital Terrain Model (DTM) etc.
- Ground Surveying Using GPS, DGPS, Total Station etc.
- Cadastral Mapping
- Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)
Development of Natural Resources Information System such as Coastal Information System, Land Information system, Forest resources management information system etc. consisting of layers as derived above and many more. Any determinant having a bearing on the natural resources management can be added as a layer or attribute so as to have a comprehensive holistic approach towards an eco-system or natural resources assessment and management.
