Landuse land cover change (LULC) and its impact
on the environment have been one of the increasing
concentration during ongoing global changes. Landuse and
landcover are often assumed to be identical, they are rather
quite different. Landcover may be defined as the biophysical
earth surface, while landuse is often shaped by human,
socioeconomic and political influences on the land[2]. The
rapid urbanisation occurring in the developing countries play
an important role in global landuse landcover change. Impacts
associated with LULC are increasingly visible on the
hydrological cycle, agriculture, the energy budget of earth in
the form of irregular rainfall distribution, and the monsoon
resulting in an increase in the frequency of droughts and
floods. Among the impacts associated with landuse landcover
change, changes in hydrological conditions and flood risk
have been the main focusing issue [4].
