A Study of Himreen Reservoir Water Quality Using in Situ Measurement and Remote Sensing Techniques
Abstract
The use of remote sensing and GIS in water monitoring and management has been long recognized. This paper is an application of remote sensing technique and in situ measurement for monitoring water quality parameters of Himreen Dam reservoir water. Himreen dam constructed in 1980 lies in Diyala governorate east part of IRAQ is used mainly for Control Diyala river flood and power generation.
The output results shows that high correlation found between reflectance values were extracted from landsat TM 1989 and ETM+ 2002 images with water depth and its turbidity and there is no sources of thermal pollution in water. Generally, Himreen reservoir water can be classified according to the standard Specification (US Standards) as good medium salt water.
Keywords: Remote sensing, Water quality, Himreen reservoir, Landsat TM and ETM+ images.
