How much forest has Bhiwadi lost?
There was almost no forest around Bhiwadi in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

Frequently asked
Questions about Bhiwadi
What is the air quality (AQI) in Bhiwadi right now?
The latest reading for Bhiwadi shows an AQI of 390 (Hazardous), measured Nov 11, 19:45 local time by 3 ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ (the median of their readings; the nearest is RIICO Ind. Area III, Bhiwadi - RSPCB, 1.7 km away). The main pollutant is PM10. Emergency conditions — avoid outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Bhiwadi today?
At AQI 390 (Hazardous): everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion. Windows: keep them closed and seal gaps. Masks: wear an N95 if you must go out. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Bhiwadi been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Bhiwadi's daily AQI at 207 on average, from 173 on Nov 7 to an hourly peak of 279 on Nov 5. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Bhiwadi's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.
How much forest has the area around Bhiwadi lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Bhiwadi in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.
What is the tree count in Bhiwadi?
Bhiwadi has an estimated 41,155 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 13.1% tree cover, 32 percentage points short of the 45% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Bhiwadi need?
Bhiwadi needs roughly 100,217 more trees to close a 32-point shortfall against its 45% tree-cover target — about 2,205 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Bhiwadi's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near RIICO Industrial Area, via OpenAQ; the 7-day trend is the Open-Meteo / CAMS model's estimate. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around RIICO Industrial Area; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
