Estimation of Surface Run-off for Urban Area Using Integrated Remote Sensing and GIS Approach
Urban run-off increases significantly due to increased impervious area and reduced drainage network. Evaluation of land use in urban area plays a vital role as input to the estimation of runoff. The hydrological design standard for urban water resources planning and management is commonly based on the frequency of occurrence of heavy rainfall events. In the present study, the occurrence of most...

The first section introduces the early applications of remote sensing to environmental monitoring and resources investigation, and outlines its achievements. The second section focuses on further analysis of urban expansion from the point of view of spatial distribution patterns and temporal change, taking ...
متن کاملArea Estimation under Agro Forestry Using Remote Sensing and Gis
One of the most important problems faced by the developing countries is producing food in adequate quantities and of good quality for the fast growing population. It is also necessary to ensure that the quality of land resources that are directly or indirectly utilized in producing food is maintained and improved. Therefore, it is important to increase productivity and at the same time to conse...
متن کاملForest Fire Potential Modeling and Simulation of its Extension Using Remote Sensing Data and GIS: (A Protected Area of Arasbaran)
Forest fire models are generally used in different aspects of fire management and are helpful in understanding and prediction of fire behavior. Forest fires cause a significant damage for public property by destroying a large tract of forest. This helps fire fighters to focus on an area with greater risk and to develop better substructure for fire fighter training and ultimately to plan fire-f...
متن کاملIntegrated Evaluation of Urban Development Suitability Based on Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques – A Case Study in Jingjinji Area, China
Jingjinji area (namely Beijing, Tianjin and He Bei Province) is one of the three largest regional economic communities in China. Urban expansion has sped up in the past 20 years in this area due to the rapid economic and population growth. Evaluating the landuse suitability for urban growth on a regional scale is an urgent need, because the most suitable areas and the most suitable scale of urb...
