Integrating remote sensing, geographic information systems and global positioning system techniques with hydrological modeling

Abstract

Integration of remote sensing (RS), geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) are emerging research areas in the field of groundwater hydrology, resource management, environmental monitoring and during emergency response. Recent advancements in the fields of RS, GIS, GPS and higher level of computation will help in providing and handling a range of data simultaneously in a time-and cost-efficient manner. This review paper deals with hydrological modeling, uses of remote sensing and GIS in hydrological modeling, models of integrations and their need and in last the conclusion. After dealing with these issues conceptually and technically, we can develop better methods and novel approaches to handle large data sets and in a better way to communicate information related with rapidly decreasing societal resources, i.e. groundwater.

Assessment of groundwater quality and remediation in karst aquifers: A review

“…Numerous researchers have taken advantage of remote sensing techniques to improve their models and solve some un-answered and complex problems by increasing the accuracy of prediction and also by taking into account other hydrological phenomena (Ashraf and Ahmad, 2012; Machiwal et al, 2012; Thakur et al, 2016; Xu et al, 2011). Table 3 elaborates the potential application of GIS and remote sensing in different phases of integrated groundwater modeling.…”

Assessing sustainable development prospects through remote sensing: A review

“…Surface water is susceptible to pollution; thus, further exploitation of groundwater resources is inevitable ( Avtar et al, 2013a , Avtar et al, 2013b ; Minh et al, 2019 ). In addition to being a source of clean drinking water, groundwater also sustains rivers, wetlands, and lakes, which are ecologically and agriculturally important in both developing and developed countries ( Jha et al, 2007 ; Thakur et al, 2017 ). A number of studies have been performed to detect surface water resources and elucidate their spatiotemporal distributions based on satellite images ( Rokni et al, 2014 ).…”

Estimation of the Changes in Water Surfase Area Based on the Use of Archives Satellite Images of Landsat Satellites (On the Example of the Ertis River)

“…The important advantages of the remote sensing methods are the ability to regularly monitor the state of the earth's surface, the greater visibility, the high efficiency of obtaining information about the area of interest and the integration into geographic information systems. The latest advances in remote sensing, GIS will help ensure and process a large range of data simultaneously in real time [11].…”
