EIA Studies of 3 Pre-Identified Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in ...

Rapid EIA Studies of 3 Pre-identified Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites in NCT - Delhi:
Site II: Wazirpur CETP site
Page No.113
Fig 4.27 depicts the landuse map within 5 Km radius from the proposed site. The
land use statistics is presented in table 4.31 and the land use map in Figure 4.27
reveals the dominance of industrial land use in the western part followed by
residential, etc. The pie diagram (Fig 4.31) at a glance presents the dominance of
different land uses in the study areas. The different landuse patterns of the study
area in decreasing order are built - up area (84.6%), Agriculture (3.6%), Forest
(5.4%), Wasteland (4.8%) and water bodies (1.6%).

land use statistics of Guman Hera Site is given in table 4.32 and figure 4.32 shows
a pie diagram to project percentage distribution of area under different land uses.The
different landuse patterns of the study area are agriculture (89.1%) wastelands
(5.2%), Built-up-area (2.7%) and water bodies (0.8%).
