Dr. T M Mohan Kumar¬1, Suhas K B2 and Dr. Siddegowda3

Abstract :

Urbanization is nothing but rapid evolution of metropolitan cities in terms of its growth, facility to the live hood etc. this urbanization is more benefitted to the country in growth of revenue. Generally, the natural water bodies like lakes, water streams and river cover the maximum portion of the earth surface. It not only provides the sufficient amount of water and it reduces the temperature effect on the environment. The physical as well as greenery cover of earth surface such as forests and Parks is also giving the maximum contribution in order to reduce the effect of temperature. Increasing in infrastructure buildings like residential, commercial any other types and increasing in number of vehicles, automobiles lead to more accumulation of temperature in urban areas. The natural water bodies, agricultural lands, buried land, forests and other green areas converted into pavement surfaces. This morphological change in urban land of natural land leads to more and more concentration of temperature. These impermeable lands turn s to absorbent of solar radiations and sunrays. It also further reflects to the environment. Because of these activities can cause Urban Heat Island (UHI).
