Conclusion

The temporal remote sensing data showed that urbanization process have reduced the wetlands of Delhi from 1.70% (1977) to 0.58% (2010) and Mumbai from 4.25% (1973) to 4.06% (2009). Comparison of water bodies of Delhi of year 1977 to 2010 and Mumbai of 1973 and 2009 illustrate of  conversion of water bodies to other landuse categories, mainly  built-up category.
