What is it about?
Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) play a key role in all geospatial aspects of the assessment and management of water resources for inland fisheries and aquaculture. Lake, wetland, and reservoirs are some of the important inland water resources for potential fish production and help improve the rural economy on large scale.

Why is it important?
Remote sensing and GIS software and images like Landsat-ETM+, Landsat-8 and other multi spectral images utilization at short time frame for potential fishing zone identification, rate of sedimentation, geomorphological changes such as land cover, erosion and accretion in reservoirs as well. Thus it will help in decision making and blueprint preparation for sustainable water resource management at a cost-effective rate.
Perspectives
Remote sensing and GIS software and images like Landsat-ETM+, Landsat-8 and other multi spectral images will help in decision making and blueprint preparation for sustainable water resource management at a cost-effective rate. The current review emphasizes the potential of high-resolution satellite images for mapping and analysis of water resources at Tarai region of Uttarakhand.
