Abstract:
A feasibility study to use remote sensing techniques for estimation of mosquito production in Sanjay lake in east Delhi was carried out. Besides the Sanjay lake, larval production for 12 surrounding remote sensing identifiable ponds was also estimated. Inspite of some limitations the technique is very useful for rapid mapping of major breeding sites, recording temporal changes and estimation of larval production in a cost effective manner in terms of survey cost and time.
