The study aims at documenting the human dimensions of land use with discussing the state of management and evaluating it¿s expected environmental consequences in the context of Bangsi River floodplain. Ground verified multi-date Google images from 2000 to 2010 have been used to describe the gradual land transformation.

The full blown environmental consequences of such mismanagement of expansion are not apparent yet but the present growth and pollution state reveals the future detrimental effects. Drainage congestion and water logging problem for infrastructure and road network development, health issues for industrial pollution and agricultural loss for rapid conversion of land use and pollution has been documented and mapped extensively to indicate the effects.
