Remote sensing insights for sustainable development: Water quality and landscape dynamics in Mirik Lake, Darjeeling District, West Bengal, India
The study employs remote sensing and GIS techniques to assess the water quality dynamics of Mirik Lake, located in the Darjeeling Himalayas, West Bengal, India. To analyse the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on the water quality of Mirik Lake from 1993 to 2023. Landsat imagery spanning from 1993 to 2023 was used to detect significant alterations in LULC patterns. Remote sensing and GIS techniques were utilised to analyse the data, focusing on changes in LULC and their implications for water quality. The results indicate a steady increase in total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels, attributed to anthropogenic activities such as urbanisation and tourism development. LULC change analysis highlights the expanding built-up areas and agricultural lands surrounding the lake, contributing to nutrient loading and organic pollution. The spatial distribution of pollution categories underscores the influence of tourist infrastructure on water quality degradation. Integrated watershed management and sustainable development strategies are recommended to mitigate anthropogenic impacts and preserve the ecological integrity of Mirik Lake.
