Abstract
Wetland are considered to be most important biologically productive ecosystem, so it is important to study the changing dynamics of the wetlands as it may lead to deterioration of the wetlands thereby disturbing the function of the wetland. The study is about Loktak Lake which is situated at Moirang subdivision in Manipur. The lake plays an important role but it is deteriorating due to many reason such as siltation, deforestation, soil erosion as well as the eutrophication, so it is important to study the changing dynamics of the Loktak Lake. The study is about analysis of changing dynamics of the lake where study of changes in vegetation cover have done using NDVI Index and land use and land cover using Google images by visual interpretation of different time period. For the study of vegetation cover detection, time period of 2001 and 2015 satellite image have used and for land use and land cover changes analysis time period of 2011 and 2017 have used. The results show changes in the vegetation cover as well as changes in the land use and land cover pattern.
