        2. Creation of digital database in GIS environment.
       3. Preparation of state-wise wetland atlases.
       4. There two types of wetlands, natural and manmade. We need to identify and level them with according  to   their area, shape, if any found in toposheet. With the help of this project we can get the details of the wetland of Bihar   and also about the place. We have also gone through to get the actual structure, if any local name and the condition of the wetlands. As it is Bihar we find many seasonal wetlands too. Here are some of our field works.Development of query shell for information retrieval.

TRAINING PROGRAM ON GIS AND REMOTE SENSING APPLICATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT:-

            Along with the various projects we work on we also undergo training programs. Recently we had a training program from April – July,2009 for the IEM students in collaboration with Institute of Engineering and Management. The aim of the training to make the students acquainted with the GIS software, know about the field and last but not the least learn it. This program consisted of both theory and practical classes. Here they were given the idea how to handle the software, the various features of it, how it makes GIS work easy. It widens the students knowledge how sitting in room you can say the person the exact location of the place. They have also done a project on basis what they have learnt.
         During this training the students were given an idea on what GIS is? What is the purpose of it? How it is used in different spheres of life? There many softwares of GIS in the market but how they are different from each other. The special features of the softwares that make them different. The students were made well known about different features and its basic idea to use it. The students were given both theory and practical classes in parallel so that students can get a clear idea. With help of TNT we can do a comparative study of a place and hence can know the nature of the place. We can also find out whether the particular spot is suitable for certain industry or not. The students have done a project on Ganga Basin to find out the deposition and the scouring area. The project was an in-depth study of the Lower Ganga Basin. The raw data given to the students were processed using the software to help the user to determine the area of scouring and deposition. The data provided to the students were of two consecutive years. The classes were taken by itself by the personals.
           The students were highly interested to know about this new and interesting field, where every project is different from the other. We hope to have this type of project again and again so that we can widen one step more the futures knowledge.
