Change detection of natural features by using GIS and RS : case study al Habbaniya lake

Abstract EN

The aim of this research is to highlight the relationship between Remote Sensing and GIS For The ability of GIS to analyze, interpret and visualize remotely sensed data by the supported tools in GIS programs that can analyze Images from the satellite allowing the geographer to ask and answer questions about natural features and the stages of it evolving, The research make use of remote sensing data To reveal the changes of the study area location Al-Habbaniya lake by analyzing each image of the study period 2010-2019, the research found that the lake size and shape has changed during the past 10 years, by using a Calculation method in Remote sensing (NDWI) Index That Show The Water Body status, shape and size, The research also detect a turbidity signature in the north side of the lake in year 2019, the research made 5 maps of the study area to compare each year and reveal the difference between The aim of this research is to highlight the relationship between Remote Sensing and GIS For The ability of GIS to analyze, interpret and visualize remotely sensed data by the supported tools in GIS programs that can analyze Images from the satellite allowing the geographer to ask and answer questions about natural features and the stages of it evolving, The research make use of remote sensing data To reveal the changes of the study area location Al-Habbaniya lake by analyzing each image of the study period 2010-2019, the research found that the lake size and shape has changed during the past 10 years, by using a Calculation method in Remote sensing (NDWI) Index That Show The Water Body status, shape and size, The research also detect a turbidity signature in the north side of the lake in year 2019, the research made 5 maps of the study area to compare each year and reveal the difference between 2010-2019.
