Results of the land cover change analysis showed that the area, which was dominated by forest in 1986, became dominated by farmland in 2000, and later by built-up areas in 2016 (Fig. 2). The forested area had declined by 20.3% between 1986 and 2000, and further by about 6.5% by 2016. On the other hand, farmland increased by about 8% in the 1986–200...

This amounted to 64.13% reduction in water resources of the area. Also, abou...
