Knowledge about long-term land cover/use changes is essential for evaluating and predicting their consequent problems by urban managers and policymakers. Remote sensing with landscape metrics is an effective tool for monitoring these changes in urban cores and their peripheral areas. During the recent decades, industrial and urban growth, and immigration of people into Isfahan metropolitan area...

  Background and Objectives In recent years, excessive use of groundwater resources and the discharge of urban and industrial wastewater in the environment has contaminated and reduced the quality of groundwater resources.
