We estimated decadal-scale changes to the land use/land cover in one of the many drought-prone agricultural basins (El Potosi Basin) of northeast Mexico by using the temporal satellite images of Landsat Multi spectral scanner (MSS), Thematic Mapper (TM) and Operational Land Imager (OLI) for 1980, 19...
