6. RESULT AND ANALYSIS
Table 6.1 Land Use : Loktak Catchment Area
There has been an increase in the water spread in the water bodies/ aqua-ponds. This is mainly due to conversion of agriculture and marshy/ swampy land into aquaponds. There is rapid increase in fishing activities in the state of Manipur and annual fish yields from this aquaponds have also increase drastically ii. Spatial analysis: Land Capability Land capability classification is grouping of soil mainly based on
A land capability map showing capability classes ( Fig 1.5 D) and classes given in Table 6.2 Table 6.2 Land Capability Classes : Loktak Catchment
As per report on Land Capability of Loktak Catchment Area of Loktak Lake Manipur, published by National Bureau of Soil Survey & Land Use Planning, Nagpur the following table gives some of the recommended and suggested different capability units. The Land capability classes are generated by integrating several thematic maps in GIS.
