Land cover data of Hindu Kush Himalayan region of Pakistan for 1990. This dataset is created using the LandSat 30 meter spatial resolution satellite image of 1990.
-
Land cover and its change analysis across Hindu Kush Himalayan region is realized as an urgent need to support diverse issues of environmental conservation. This study presents the first and most complete national land cover database of Koshi basin prepared using public domain Landsat TM data of 2010 and replicable methodology.The study estimated that Koshi basin is covered 19% by forests. The potential use of the data set for basin level sustainable land use planning strategies and meeting several global commitments also highlighted.
-
High levels of water-induced erosion in the transboundary Himalayan river basins are contributing to substantial changes in basin hydrology and inundation. Basin-wide information on erosion dynamics is needed for conservation planning, but field-based studies are limited. Part of the remote sensing (RS) and a geographic information system (GIS) based soil erosion estimation and spatial distribution of across the entire Koshi basin, a land cover map of 1990 used as a Support practice factor (PL). Land cover data for 1990 were prepared from analysis of the Landsat images using object-based image analysis.

Digital data of Land use of Kayar Khola Watershed, Chitwan, Nepal. This dataset is created using Topographic sheet data at scale of 25,000/50,000, of 1995 acquired from National Geographic Information Infrastructure Project (NGIIP), Dept. of Survey, Kathmandu, Nepal and verified during 2010 field survey. The data was prepared for the Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) Pilot Project. This is a joint project of ICIMOD with Asian Network for Sustainable Agriculture and Bio-resources (ANSAB) and Federation of Community for Forest Users of Nepal (FECOFUN) funded by NORAD.
