Title

Developing A Composite Indicator With Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus Images For Drought Assessment In A Coastal Urban Region

Abstract

Exploring water resources management decisions can be supported based on a variety of hydrologic modeling techniques (Chow et al. 1988; Singh 1995). Yet, the essential collection of meteorological and catchment properties (e.g., precipitation, temperature, land use and vegetation, soil, topography, and lithology) is inevitable. The hydrologic modeling applications for watershed management are often limited by data acquisitions, especially in regions with a weak infrastructure, such as those in arid and mountainous regions, where conventional observations are not available at a sufficient spatial resolution (Mcculloch 2007). Consequently, hydrologic predictions in response to climate change impacts are difficult to evaluate (Abdulla et al. 2009).
