The Committee has done very good work so far and has provided a large number of people with much needed clothing under the slogan Clothing for All .

(b) Overcutting of vegetation (very widespread)

I must ask my husband what would be a just price for such a costly garment

20 years back the political slogan was, Roti, kapada, makaan, which meant, Food, clothing and shelter.

And also people told me that we have a lot of important primary needs to meet food, clothing, shelter, whatever.

Multispectral vegetation monitoring techniques are also useful for qualitative crop forecasting, especially in semi arid areas.

Monitoring the global forest cover and the long term rates of deforestation and reforestation is an essential element of the study of global climate change.

Rainfall generally occurred in erosive downpours, and the pressure on vegetation was greater than in temperate areas.

The use of high frequency low resolution satellite data allows monitoring of vegetation and rainfall during each growing season for purposes of range management, drought warning and crop forecasting.

(b) Light to moderate degradation over extensive areas (for example, soil fertility decline on arable land and degradation of vegetation on rangelands).

The satellite images reveal large areas of degraded vegetation and soils, water and wind erosion and polluted water bodies, as well as likely areas of soil and groundwater contamination.

56. The Council of Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment (CAMRE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) developed a joint priority programme to combat desertification, increase land green cover, stem industrial pollution and promote environmental education, awareness and information.

The repetitive observations of vegetation patterns over broad areas using meteorological or remote sensing satellites is the most cost effective way of observing the harmful effects of those phenomena and providing information for planning appropriate responses.

The use of meteorological satellite data to estimate rainfall and assess the state of vegetation every 10 days during the growing season provides good forecasts of agricultural production and warnings of agricultural failures that may require food relief.

Two powerful new techniques for that purpose are the analysis of multispectral meteorological satellite data in terms of the quot vegetation index quot , a measure of the density of green vegetation, and the use of cloud temperature data for rainfall estimation.

Disbursements of tuitions fees, stipends, books clothing allowances, medical expenses, tickets, etc., under this Program are made through bank drafts in favor of the beneficiaries through approved channels in compliance with detailed terms and conditions.

Satellite applications, such as the monitoring of vegetation density using the vegetation index technique, have proved particularly valuable in the fragile ecosystems of the semi arid zone, where vegetation, animals and human populations are highly vulnerable to climate change.

They can also provide some information on the distribution of geological structures and soil types, vegetation classes, water resources, transportation networks, urbanization, flood risk and other parameters which can be used with information from other sources to determine the suitability of land for a particular use.

The Chinese Government, convinced that social development was both the starting point and the final objective of economic development, was focusing its efforts on that sector, and had succeeded to date in feeding and clothing the great majority of its 1.1 billion citizens.

An important application of space technology relating to the atmospheric environment is indirect, through the observation of short and long term changes in vegetation resulting from climate change due to greenhouse gases, from acid rain or from other types of air pollution.
