Trend Analysis in Landsat Based Scheme for Burned Area over Northwestern Region of India

Crop residue burning exhibits a significant problem to air pollution witnessed by the Northwestern region of India during the Kharif and Rabi seasons. Kharif and Rabi refer to the crop pattern adopted by Asian countries following the monsoon season. After Harvesting crops, stubble formed as a byproduct is disposed of and burned on the ground. Consequently, raised a need to take action corresponds to fire incidents with changing frequency, acuteness, and different dimensions that need large image collection and processing of huge data. The paper investigates the potential of Satellite images in Spatial and Temporal Resolution in Burned areas in Haryana, India. The work presents the trend analysis over Burned Area assessment based on Landsat satellite data. A detailed analysis was carried out and found that some districts have more burning activity. Top burned areas in districts were selected and compared. Hence, a Scheme based on Landsat data can provide insight and help identify the affected area for investigation by stakeholders like Government, R&D Department, Agencies, etc.
