GIS Analysis

Geo-referenced datasets may be created using digitally processed satellite images using

image to image or map to image geo-referencing techniques. The following key steps are
Water quality monitoring utilizing RS techniques to run water quality models and
develop TMDLs
iv. Temporal analysis to understand changes in water quality and landuse/land
coverparameters necessary for developing effective water quality management The purpose of this study is to show the potential of integrating RS and GIS techniques in

water quality restoration programs. An advance and cost effective approach is proposed for water

quality monitoring and management of impaired waterbodies under the framework of US

Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program.

Remote sensing based water quality predictive model is presented in this paper that involves

developing GIS thematic maps for different water quality parameters for impaired waterbodies

by establishing spatial relationship between satellite data and field measured water quality

parameters. The success of the methodology will enable rapid mapping of water quality

parameters lot easier than the traditional means. The results of the study could be used to

evaluate the quality of a waterbody used for different purposes. RS/GIS temporal and spatial

analysis tools will enable more reliable and timely assessment of temporal changes in water

quality. The beneficiaries of this study will comprise of but not limited to water quality

restoration programs all over the world. The effectiveness of these programs can also be

monitored on a repetitive basis utilizing this approach
