Earth Intelligence for
CLIMATE ACTION
Providing actionable insights for responsible land-use and water management
Life Lands
What is LiLa?
- A digital tool to simplify land use planning and restoration for climate change mitigation practices.
- Customisable and comphrensive data insights for informed decision making
- Rapid assessment of sustainable lands for best environmental use case scenarios.
- Expansion of clean energy
- Rejuvenation of ground water resources
- Carbon sequestration & biodiversity protection
- Identification of lands for deployment of solar energy parks
- Identification of lands for creation of watersheds
- Identification of lands for targeting reforestation
Solar
- User driven analysis to identify suitable lands
- Automatic site suitability analysis considering ecological and social parameters
- Key insights for the identified lands including water potential areas
- Socio economic context for selected lands
Water
- Meet sustainable water management targets.
- Enhance water security in vulnerable areas
- Plan water interventions for achieving net water positivity in rural areas
- Identify best lands for ground water recharge and/or surface water harvesting
Forest
- Propose blue-green corridors based on existing forest connectivity including conservation/protected zones)
- Workout green expansion – either outside current urban areas to balance the dense build-up or in populated spaces as urban forestry
- Plan forest resilience based on terrain analysis, water potential, historical forest loss data and evaluation of risks such as cyclones, water stress and flood based hazards
- Map out forest security based on socio economic data (Population, GDP & settlements)
Integrated
- Merges information and decision layers from Solar,Water and Water modules.
- Identifies and informs best selected lands and related insights for Land use and resource management.
- Supports data-driven planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions.
SATELLITE IMAGERY PROCESSING
Our innovation lies in unlocking the productive potential of degraded lands by combining satellite imagery, public datasets and GIS mapping. We have an in-house land-cover algorithm that analyses satellite imagery across a year and assigns every pixel a land-cover class based on its recorded electromagnetic spectral signature. This way we can reliably identify lands that have been lying barren over a certain period of time or those that remain unused. We perform advanced terrain analysis based on digital elevation maps to understand the physical constraints and the true potential of a land with respect to its ecosystem as well the socio-economic context. This information is further fed to our suitability analytics for site rating and selection.
Our algorithms are scalable to any global region.
