Apport de la télédétection à l'inventaire et à la gestion des ressources en eau

Michel Lenco

Économie rurale, 1978, vol. 127

Abstract: Télédétection by plane or satelite provides spectacular results where water is concerned as in this field methods of interpretation are already operational. Photo-interpretation of images and their computerization show up phenomena that are recognized and classified according to their nature and their intensity. They enable maps to be mechanically drawn up and the areas corresponding to the different categories to be calculated. Télédétection seems to be an invaluable tool for drawing up inventories and above all for managing water resources according to what is available and to the need for information expressed by water experts, farming, town planning, industry, environment, country planning, and regional planning. Examples drawn from experiments in France and in North America show some of the possibilities afforded by this new, quick and often inexpensive means of investigation.
