Wastelands are essentially understood as low-quality land from an agricultural point of view, often referred to as degraded land. Unscientific handling of land resources has resulted in the development of vast stretches of wastelands and also formed one of the major factors of decrease in per capita arable land causing ecological imbalances. The present paper aims to identify the Wastelands of Chitradurga District, Karnataka through hi-tech tools of Geoinformatics. The major causes of land degradation and subsequent formation of wastelands can be primarily attributed to 'faculty agricultural practice and indiscriminate deforestation'. Agricultural practices include the lack of soil conservation measures and irrigation practices that often lead to the formation of the salt affected soils. The study was taken up to map and record the wastelands using Survey of India (SoI) toposheets of 1:50,000 scale, IRS 1D PAN+LISS III satellite data and Google Earth software with limited Ground Truth Check (GTC) and final wasteland layer is generated. The database provides spatial baseline information in distribution, extent and temporal behavior of wastelands in planning and implementation of development strategies in wastelands reclamation of the country
