GIS for Modeling and monitoring

Environmental pollution
 Major Pollutions
Air pollution
Causes-combustion of fossil fuels,in Automobiles, factories, power
plant Deforestation and use of nuclear weapons.
Effects- Diseases for human being like Asthma,heart
attack,vascular dysfunction. Global warming etc.

Water Pollution
Causes-domestic ,industrial and agricultural wastes, oil spills,
marine dumping, radioactive waste.
Effects-unfit for drinking. Waterborne diseases unusable for
agricultural and industrial use

Soil Pollution
Causes-Industrial wastes, agricultural pesticides, fertilizers.
Effects-Decrease in soil fertility and yield. Increase in salinity of the
soil
 How GIS helps in Monitoring and
modeling of pollutions

GIS integrates hardware, software, and

data for capturing, managing,
analyzing, and displaying all forms of
geographically referenced information

GIS allows us to view understand,

question, interpret, and visualize
data in many ways in the form of
maps, globes, reports, and charts
 How GIS helps in Monitoring and
modeling of pollutions
Efficient pollutions monitoring and modeling with
Decision Support System (DSS).
GIS can be utilized for –
Preparing Environmental Atlas
Mapping of environmental sensitive
zones/ areas
Locating monitoring stations,
Zonal Mapping of pollution,
Mapping of Air and water polluting
Industries .
How GIS helps in Monitoring and
modeling of pollutions
Developing Water Quality Index(WQI)
maps.
Pollution Density Maps.
Spatial geo-positioning of polluters
Tracking the Effects of Pollutants
Analysis Industrial Populations
Management System For Industrial,
Domestic and Municipal Waste
 Spatial Data For GIS modelling
Location map of area.
Transport network map(Road network,Type, traffic
volume)
Water bodies of area(river,lake,pond, canal, drainage)
Major Settlement of area(city, town, villages).
Altitude(contour bench mark)

Soil map of area(with soil type,fertility etc)

Industrial maps with their attribute (what they are
using as fuel, what is the waste product)
Location maps of monitoring stations (X,Y coordinate
with their real time data)
Real time Pollution data of Air Water and soil
INPUT GIS Process
 Methedology for projects
Selection of Area of Interest (AOI)
Geometric correction of Image of AOI
Digital supervised and unsupervised classification
Ground Survey with GPS Unit for precise ground location
Preparation of digital maps on basis of digital image, GPS data and
other Resource
Attach attribute data/tabular information with these maps
Integrate monitoring station data with our spatial maps
Generate output as high polluted, medium polluted and less polluted
area
Identified buffer zone from central pollution point and analyze the
affected area
 Zonal Mapping for Air Quality
Air Quality Index
The Air Quality Index, or AQI, much like an air quality "thermometer",
translates daily air pollution concentrations into a number on a scale
between 0 and 500. The numbers in this scale are divided into six
color-coded ranges, with numbers 0-300 as seen below.

(0-50) Good
No health impacts are expected when air quality is in this range.

(51-100) Moderate
Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting prolonged
outdoor exertion.

(101-150) Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups

Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such
as asthma, should limit outdoor exertion.

(151-200) Unhealthy
Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such
as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion; everyone else,
especially children, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

(201-300) Very Unhealthy

Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such
as asthma, should avoid all outdoor exertion; everyone else,
especially children, should limit outdoor exertion.
