Abstract: 

Land is the most important natural resources on which all activities are based. The increase in population and human activities are increasing the demand on the limited land and soil resources for agriculture, forest, pasture, urban and industrial land uses. Information on the rate and kind of changes in the use of land resources is essential for proper planning, management and to regularize the use of such resources. Advances in satellite sensor and their analysis techniques are making remote sensing systems realistic and attractive for use in research and management of natural resources. Land use maps are valuable tools for agricultural and natural resources studies. The various categories of land use in the area recognized are forest, agriculture, Settlement, Fallow Land, Salt affected land, water bodies and reeds. Agriculture is the major land use categories in the study area due to the one of fertile soil of the world. The objective of this paper is land use land cover analysis of Khammam district, Telengana State.
