MONITORING WATER POLLUTION BY REMOTE SENSING

How imaging remote sensing techniques can be effectively utilized as a water pollution monitoring tool if the advantages of imaging remote sensing as applied to other fields are understood as well as how electromagnetic energy reacts with water. The advantages of imaging remote sensing are shown in that they provide an overall view at one instant of time; they provide a detailed time record which provides means of detecting change with time; and they can expand the limits of the human eye and sense where the eye cannot see.
