Transformation Of the Shinhati Badland (Ramsagar Area, Bishnupur): Observation-Based Assessment Through Satellite Data and Ground Verification

Abstract Shinhati is situated on the left bank of the Birai, a right-bank tributary of the Dwarkeshwar. Now, Shinhati is part of the Ramsagar Fishery Project, operated by the government of West Bengal. Ramsagar has identical climatic conditions and a very high range of fish production. The Shinhati Badland area, characterized by its rugged terrain and intense erosion processes, has undergone significant transformation due to anthropogenic factors that initiated and developed the fish production ponds. This study presents an observation-based assessment of these changes using multi-temporal satellite data complemented by extensive ground verification. High-resolution remote sensing imagery was analyzed to detect variations in landform dynamics, vegetation cover, and hydrological patterns over time. Digital elevation models (DEMs) and spectral indices were employed to quantify geomorphological shifts. Ground-truthing efforts validated the satellite-derived interpretations, ensuring accuracy in identifying landscape alterations. The findings indicate a significant change in landform morphology, characterized by the expansion of existing fishponds and the construction of new ones. This transformation is altering the shape of gully channels, which are areas where erosion and sporadic sediment deposition are actively occurring. Human activities have intensified geomorphic instability in certain regions. This study emphasizes the importance of ongoing monitoring in addressing environmental degradation in badland regions. The insights gained can help policymakers develop sustainable land management strategies that balance ecological conservation with developmental needs.
Keywords Shinhati Badland, remote sensing, ground verification, geomorphology, erosion, landform transformation.
