CONCLUSIONS
= Passages of the pipeline through the land use/land cover
class like built-up areas and water-bodies are to be
avoided/minimized.
" Special attention must be taken for pipeline passages
close to residential and industrial areas to safeguard
against any hazards for the nearby living population
during emergencies.
= Bfforts should be made to restore the disturbed land and
vegetation cover - agriculture etc., along the pipeline
route to bring it to its original state of cover using
suitable measures.
=» The landuse / land cover assessment using satellite
imagery provided reliable, faster, cost & time effective
information for the study area.
