Abstract

Abstract: These days, a range of analytical tasks are carried out using popular, computer-dependent, time-oriented methodologies such as remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information System) technology. Remote sensing technology provides a synoptic perspective that aids in mapping the dynamics of surface water bodies at regional and global scales. With this study, we can gather information on seasonal changes over time in the Mainpuri District because variations in the distribution of surface water have an impact on the hydrogeology and physical surroundings of the area. Mainpuri District has a Ramsar site named Saman Bird Sanctuary, which is home to a significant number of migratory and local migratory birds, primarily Sarus cranes. The research demonstrated that the area's abundance of waterbodies benefits biodiversity by giving migratory birds enough food and shelter. Shrinkage and expansion in surface water bodies are useful for determining the ecology of the region. In the current work, pre-monsoon and post-monsoon multi-temporal Landsat satellite images have been used to monitor spatiotemporal changes in the water bodies’ surface area in the Mainpuri District of Uttar Pradesh, India. In the north-west to southeast of the district, waterbodies' temporal changes show a 60% sharp decline in the number of waterbodies from 1992 to 2022.
