Spatial and updated land use and land cover information is essential to support basin scale water management. Due to their lack of details, existing global land cover data sets are inadequate to fulfill this role. This research has demonstrated that it is possible to discern LULC classes with managed land use and water use. Temporal profiles of NDVI from SPOT-Vegetation were used to capture the seasonal phenological variations of 27 classes. The ground information and expert knowledge of cropping patterns can efficiently be used to distinguish different crop classes. The overall accuracy attained in this research is 77% with user’s and producer’s accuracy being 83% and 78%, respectively. The Kappa coefficient of 0.73 is in moderate agreement range. This is reasonably good and similar to the accuracy reported by different global scale studies.
