Mapping of groundwater potential zones in Killinochi area, Sri Lanka, using GIS and remote sensing techniques
Groundwater is a vital natural capital for the consistent and economic provision of potable water supply for both rural and urban environments. There is now a strong consensus that climate change poses a fundamental challenge to the well-being of all countries, with potential of being the harshest on countries already suffering from water scarcity. Dry zone of Killinochi basin in Northern Sri L...
متن کاملRemote sensing of coral reefs and their physical environment.
There has been a vast improvement in access to remotely sensed data in just a few recent years. This revolution of information is the result of heavy investment in new technology by governments and industry, rapid developments in computing power and storage, and easy dissemination of data over the internet. Today, remotely sensed data are available to virtually anyone with a desktop computer. H...
متن کاملMapping Coral Reefs of Phi Phi Island Using Remote Sensing and GIS for Integrated Coastal Zone Management
The Coral reefs in Thailand are important as attractive tourist place because of the variety of coral. This research is aimed at developing the approach of using fused image of high spatial resolution and multispectral, Panchromatic and LISS III sensor of IRS-1D, for making coral habitat map. The mixing habitat could be better distinguished through high resolution 5.8 m. Study of benthic featur...
متن کاملSingle-beam acoustic remote sensing for coral reef mapping
Several commercial single-beam acoustic seabed mapping systems have come to market in the last decade, but the potential for mapping coral reef habitats with these systems has not been systematically documented. Three datasets from the Florida Keys, USA, and the Bahamas, all acquired by a Quester Tangent Series V (QTCV), revealed that rock and sediment were reliably distinguished across multipl...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review
Coral reefs are in decline worldwide and monitoring activities are important for assessing the impact of disturbance on reefs and tracking subsequent recovery or decline. Monitoring by field surveys provides accurate data but at highly localised scales and so is not cost-effective for reef scale monitoring at frequent time points. Remote sensing from satellites is an alternative and complementa...
