Title
Geospatial Quantification of Natural Stream Network Decline: A 34-Year Analysis of Unplanned Urbanization in (Chh. Sambhajinagar) City, India (1977 - 2011)
Abstract
The preservation of natural stream networks is fundamental for effective water resource management and mitigating flood risk, particularly within rapidly evolving metropolitan areas. Aurangabad, a major city in Maharashtra State, India, has experienced accelerated and often unplanned urban growth, which places significant, undocumented stress on its intrinsic hydrological systems. To quantify this stress, this study utilized multi-temporal data from 1977 and 2011, integrated with Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques via the Q-GIS platform, to analyze historical changes within the city's stream network. Our geospatial quantification revealed a profound loss across the 34-year period, with the total stream network experiencing a reduction of over 47% in both length and overall stream count. We directly attribute this striking decline to human encroachment, the conversion of natural surfaces to impervious cover, and unsustainable land-use practices. This paper demonstrates how the destruction of these vital water channels significantly degrades the city's ecological resilience and increases its vulnerability to severe urban flooding.
