Remote Sensing Applications for Reservoir Water Level Monitoring, Sustainable Water Surface Management, and Environmental Risks in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam
Journal of water and climate change(2021)
Abstract
Monitoring surface water provides vital information in water management; however, limited data is a fundamental challenge for most developing countries, such as Vietnam. Based on advanced remote sensing technologies, the authors proposed a methodology to process satellite images and use their outcomes to extract surface water in water resource management of Quang Nam province. Results of the proposed study show good agreement with in situ measurement data when the obtained Overall Accuracy and Kappa Coefficient were greater than 90% and 0.99, respectively. Three potential applications based on the surface water results are selected to discuss sustainable water management in Quang Nam province. Firstly, reservoir operating processes can be examined, enhanced, and even developed through long-term extracted water levels, which are the interpolation results between the extracted surface water area and the water level-area-volume curve. Secondly, the long-term morphological change for the Truong Giang river case between 1990 and 2019 can also be detected from the Water Frequency Index performance and provided additional information regarding permanent and seasonal water changes. Lastly, the flood inundation extent was extracted and separated from permanent water to assess the damage of the Mirinae typhoon on 2 November 2009 in terms of population and crop aspects.
