Abstract

Remote sensing is an efficient way to detect environmentally vulnerable terrain, where waste chemicals and excess fertilizers must result to considerable pollution of soil and groundwater. The indicators of such vulnerable formations were analyzed and applied for investigation of ground microdepressions. First indicator was the humidity level that was well recognized from the satellite images by calculation of normalized water index (NWI). Another active indicator used for the detection was the relief. The method of relief plastics joint with morphodynamic analysis was suggested for the data processing. The scheme of water basins and the map of environmentally fragile areas were created by combination of the indicators of soil humidity and topography. On the basis of the created maps, the restrictions for used chemicals can be developed in order to preserve considerable environmental impact of the pollution.
