5.2 . Methodology 
Forest mapping was completed in the following steps : 
i. Base map preparation: Base maps were prepared using Survey of India 
topographical maps on 1:50,000 scale showing permanent features such as roads, 
railway line, canals, village boundaries, and bunds etc. 
ii. Visual Interpretation of data: The preliminary interpretation of satellite data of 
IRS-1A/1B LISS-II October - November 1992 (FCC) on 1:50,000 scale and 
Diapositive satellite data of IRS-IB LISS-II May 1992 on 1:1 million scale was also 
used in this regard to delineate water logged areas and scrub plantations which were 
present in satellite imagery of October-November, 1992 clear forest and block 
plantations were interpreted and marked correctly. This was done by visual 
interpretation technique based on Image characteristics such as colour,
