- Description:
- A review of literature indicates that little work is being done on determining base or minimum flows from basin characteristics using remote sensing techniques. The majority of the work being done on base flows is by the use of mathematical models using information that can be obtained from topographic maps. Remote sensing techniques have been used mainly for determining water quality, inventories, and determining hydrological characteristics that could be determined from topographic maps as well. The effects of vegetation cover, unique geological factors, moisture content of soil, and weather patterns are recognized but not utilized within the mathematical models. Information obtainable by the use of remote sensing should be useful for revising existing mathematical models to provide more accurate predictions of not only base or minimum flows but average and peak flows.
