ROLE OF INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY &
INDUSTRIALIZATION ON
ENVIRONMENT

2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
• To know how IT & Industry affect the local
people
• To understand the negative impacts of IT &
industry on environment
• To know how IT & industry useful in various
aspects
• To understand how IT & industry is related to
environment
• To know to what extend it affects the
biodiversity

3. Information Technology
( IT )
• Application of computers and
telecommunications and their equipment's .
• To store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate
data.
• Spans several industries such as- computer
hardware, software, electronics,
semiconductors, internet, telecom
equipment, e-commerce and computer
services

4. IT for Environment
• Tremendous potential
• Can acquire, store, analyze and visualize satellite
data for observation, and protection of
environment.
• Easily accessible around the world
• Dramatically reduces costs, increases speed,
improver productivity and opens up new challenges
and opportunities.

5. Environmental Information
Systems
• ENVIS – stands for Environmental
Information Systems
• Established by government of India in
December 1982
• The focus of ENVIS since inception has
been on providing environmental
information to decision makers, policy
planners, scientists and engineers,
research workers, etc. all over the country.

6. Envis Has Divided its
Network/Envis Nodes in
the following Domains
• Chemicals wastes and toxicology
• Ecology and Ecosystems
• Status of environment and related
Issues
• Flora and Fauna conservation
• Environment and energy management

7. GIS
• Geographical Information System ( GIS )
• Designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze,
manage and present all types of spatial or geographical
data.
• Broader accadmic discipline of Geoinformatics
• Science underlying geographic concepts, applications
and systems.
• Can use GIS to study the environment, report on the
phenomena and model the working and responding of
environment to natural and man-made factors.

8. Using GIS
• Manage multiple types of geographical data
• Assess relationship such as run-off and groundwater
purity
• Measure changes in wildlife habitat encroachment
• Model events such as drought impact on forest health
• Improve workflow processes from data gathering and
analysis to publication and distribution of findings.
• For example, Project Tiger uses GIS to accurately
estimate, track and protect the remaining 1706 tigers
left in the country

9. REMOTE SENSING
• Acquisition of information about an object
or phenomenon without making physical
contact.
• Generally refers to using aerial sensor
technologies to detect and classify
objects on earth.
• New sensors being developed rapidly.
• Important for weather forecasts , climate
change or natural disasters.

12. How IT industry &
industrialization affect
environment?
• POLLUTION
• DEFORESTATION
• WATER SCARCITY
• SOIL EROSION AND DEGRADATION
• ACID RAIN
• GLOBAL WARMING
• OVERPOPULATION

13. POLLUTION
• High quantity of Exhaust gases
• High number of industries such as mining
• Chemical effluents
• Unprecedented Construction
• Secondary Pollutants
• Ruinous agricultural policies
• The Population Explosion
• Unplanned Land-use policies

14. DEFORESTRATION
• Loss of species
• Water cycle
• Soil erosion
• Life quality

15. WATER SCARCITY
• Lack of Access to Drinking Water
• Hunger
• Lack of Education
• Diseases
• Sanitation Issues
• Poverty

16. ACID RAIN
• Effect on Aquatic Environment
• Effect on Forests
• Effect on Soil
• Vegetation Cover and Plantations
• Effect on Architecture and Buildings
• Effect on Public Health

17. SOIL EROSION AND
DEGRADATION
• Impact on Human Health
• Loss of Biodiversity
• Ozone Layer Depletion
• Loss for Tourism Industry
• Economic Impact

18. GLOBAL WARMING
• Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power
plants
• Carbon dioxide emissions from burning gasoline for
transportation
• Methane emissions from animals, agriculture such as rice
paddies, and from Arctic seabeds
• Increase in usage of chemical fertilizers on croplands
• Rise in sea levels worldwide
• More killer storms

19. OVERPOPULATION
• Depletion of Natural Resources
• Degradation of Environment
• Conflicts and Wars
• Rise in Unemployment
• High Cost of Living
