Abstract

This study assesses and analyzes the impact of drought on the Shivaji University Campus. Drought, a recurring natural phenomenon, poses significant challenges to water availability and ecosystem health. The Shivaji University Campus, a microcosm of urban ecology, offers a unique opportunity to study the effects of drought on various aspects, including vegetation, water resources, and overall sustainability. Through a comprehensive assessment, combining remote sensing data, field surveys, and hydrological analysis, this research investigates the extent of drought impact and its ramifications. The findings contribute to our understanding of drought resilience in urban settings and inform potential mitigation strategies for maintaining a sustainable environment within the campus and its surroundings.
