Abstract: The foundation of many other human endeavors rests on land, the most fundamental resource for human survival. There are usually a number of interrelated causes that influence changes in land use and land cover. Changes in land use and land cover are driven by a complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic factors, which shift over time and across geographic regions. Alterations in the quality of the water along the Hooghly River in India as a result of LULC. The research relies heavily on previously published works. This research considers the general land use features of the region for two separate time periods: 2000 and 2015. Due to factors such as population increase, development of agricultural fields, rising settlement areas, and so on, there has been a decline in water body, vegetation, and fallow land area. The shifting patterns of land use and land cover are critical components of the broader issue of environmental change on a global and regional scale.
