Includes bibliographical references. The objective of this study is to establish a methodology in which remote sensing can be used to support the monitoring of water resources. SPOT XS imagery and object-oriented classification was used to identify farm dams and their surface area. Two equations applied to determining the capacity of dams were used to convert surface area to volume. The results showed a similarity between fieldwork and object-oriented classification data for surface area. Overall, there appears to be a strong positive correlation between object-oriented classification and unsupervised classification. The correlation between object-oriented classification and supervised classification ranged from strong positive association to little or no association. This study concludes that remote sensing is a useful tool in identifying water bodies and generating an estimate of volume stored. 2015-01-05T06:45:17Z 2015-01-05T06:45:17Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11341 eng application/pdf Department of Environmental and Geographical Science Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
