Assessment of Hydro-potential by using Remote Sensing & GIS Technology

Abstract

Now a days as the power or electricity is playing very important role in the human life, its create a very ease life for the human, the non-renewable energy such as coal energy, petroleum, natural gas depleting very fast, so we focus on renewable energy sources such as the solar energy, wind energy, thermal energy, hydropower plants etc. The objective of this study to discuss various methodology used for generating the power, hydropower plant is our focus area for the generating electricity and the site selection is done by using GIS (Geographic information system), hydropower plant is one of the most popular pant for the hilly region, it is very less polluting source which generating the energy in efficient manner. The GIS play a crucial role for the hydropower plant site selections; here in this paper we provide comparative study for the review various GIS based applications.
