Terra Drone India surveyed 1,085 villages and farm boundaries in Pune, Satara, and Sangli districts – covering an average of 120 sq km of area per day. When we superimposed the aerial images acquired by our drones on the Maharashtra government’s old maps, we found that in some areas, unirrigated land was being used for cultivation purposes, while in others, previously fertile land had been converted into human settlements.
But the most interesting discovery came in the form of crop patterns. Sugarcane, which is one of the most water-intensive crops, was supposed to be growing in only 7,000-8,000 hectares of land, according to the government’s records. However, Terra Drone India’s aerial survey revealed that almost 50,000 hectares were under sugarcane cultivation.
