Abstract

The chapter delves into the deforestation mapping of Haryana and New Delhi from 2015 to 2019 using Sentinel-1 images and MODIS Tree Cover Mask. It discusses the methodology for calculating deforestation rates, including preprocessing of Sentinel-1 data, texture analysis, and classification using a random forest algorithm. The study reveals a significant decrease in tree cover, with the rate of deforestation increasing at an alarming rate. The analysis also highlights the adverse effects of deforestation on rainfall and groundwater levels, underscoring the urgent need for strategic planning to improve tree cover in the region.
