Mineral Mapping in Parts of Konijerla Mandal, Khammam using RS and GIS Techniques

GIS is a scientific database, which facilitates the integration of various datasets for spatial analysis and modeling with a common spatial coordinate system. GIS is very useful for handling images, maps, data tables, visualization, analysis, modeling and spatial decision support. GIS can be used to identify mineral potential zones. GIS is a logical device for breaking down topographical, geochemical, remote detecting information and so on. It isvery useful in generation of mineral potential maps. GIS works with in sorting out a few variable datasets for questioning, examination and is in this way valuable in drawing significant deductions from the information produced. It is also useful in the identification of various parameters, which help in decision-making. It emphasizes on the spatial context by focusing on geological features that may have localized mineral deposition.
