Abstract
Water and soil resources mismanagement can create an adverse effect of escalating global poverty and also jeopardize the entire ecosystem. It can generate a significant cost to the environment. Even though not involved within certain 43,00 million hectares of geographic location, approximately 24% equivalent land surface of the earth is degraded land, also 1/3 global population, that is 2 billion people lack safe and affordable water for domestic purposes. Hence, taking the critical view to development of strategies is to identify the root causes of all the major problems. However, it requires a reliable and rapid information system that is indefinable due to the environmental complexity and the limited availability of the existing tools. Yet, the increased progress and availability of geographic data, remote sensing analysis tools can provide fresh possibilities to explore and monitor environmental inconsistency that influence key soil management and land use options. This review paper describes the prime constraints, explores the major concepts, the future remote sensing potential for mapping as well as to provide almost real-time features on water and soil quality in major land use context and practices deployed at the global level.
