Assessing Environmental Sustainability: Remote Sensing And GIS As Tools For Water Resources Evaluation

Hazard monitoring and risk assessment of water body pollution are very strategic targets in order to achieve correct territorial planning in Italy. This is highlighted by the recent drought events which occurred in Italy in 1998-1999. Remote sensing techniques together with GIs can give a strong con...

Summary:Hazard monitoring and risk assessment of water body pollution are very strategic targets in order to achieve correct territorial planning in Italy. This is highlighted by the recent drought events which occurred in Italy in 1998-1999. Remote sensing techniques together with GIs can give a strong contribution to defining and monitoring the water bodies in respect to volume and quality. GIs can be used in respect to historical data mapping, its integration with remote sensing techniques first allows one to identify the territorial information such as climate,
