Landscape transformation can be a natural process, but when this natural process is accentuated owing to anthropogenic interventions, it results in the conversion of the natural landscape to a cultural landscape and further to a hazardscape. As a hazardscape, the Punjab Satluj floodplain is susceptible to ecological loss and habitation areas are vulnerable to loss of life and economic loss. This chapter traces in detail the conversion process of the resource-rich Punjab Satluj floodplain into a hazardscape.
