This paper reflects the use of newer technologies Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) which play important role in monitoring canal water distribution and its management, cropping pattern identification and geomorphology characterisation of command area. The conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources aims to harness maximum quantity of water to achieve optimal utilization of total water resources in a canal command area for maximum agricultural productivity. | Preparation of thematic maps and farming situation characterisation of distributary command area using RS and GIS techniques
