ESTIMATING SUSPENDED SEDIMENT CONCENTRATIONS IN SURFACE WATER OF TRI AN LAKE USING LANDSAT MULTISPECTRAL IMAGES
Abstract
Monitoring of suspended sediment is important to maintain water quality and geomorphologic balance. Traditional methods based on field surveys only solve the problem on a small scale. Along with the development of remote sensing technology, satellite images are widely used in the study, analysis of suspended sediment. This article presents a method based on spectral mixture analysis to estimate the suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in surface water of the Tri An lake from LANDSAT multispectral images. The results which are obtained in this study can be used to create the map of suspended sediment distribution and to evaluate water quality.
