In a previous blog, we looked into — How geospatial technologies are contributing to major ongoing projects in India?
As we are moving closer towards our premier event Geosmart India 2016 let us look via this infographic – how technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, LiDAR etc. can help address major challenges India is facing.
This has been published in the Geosmart India 2016 conference brochure, which can be downloaded from here — Geosmart India 2016 agenda [PDF: 13.1 MB]
Here is the summary of the same in a table:
|
India’s Challenges |
Geospatial Solutions |
|---|---|
|
Urban population-growth 32%- by the year 2030, 590million people expected to live in Indian cities |
GST and integrated solutions for smart sustainable cities and integrated townships |
|
Only 105 litres of water supplied per capital per day as against the demand of 140 litres in urban India |
Geospatial tech can aid in low cost and affordable water resources management system |
|
India’s agricultural yield per hectare- 48% of Asian countries, but 20 mt of grain loss due to bad warehouse facilities |
GIS & a complete ecosystem of services for agriculture sector can make a big difference in improving the performance of the sector |
|
India has the 5th largest power generation portfolio worldwide with a power generation capacity of 245 GW. 24% electricity lost in T&D |
Geospatial network planning & management key to reduction of this loss |
|
Natural disasters account for total losses of US$13.8 billion reported in the most recent six-year period |
Spatial planning for disaster mitigation & management |
|
Projected to be the 3rd largest aviation market by 2020 |
Geospatial can make value addition to Aviation Industry in big way for making it better & capitalize on its growth prospects |
