Mapping Water Level in Lake of Badovci, Prishtina with Remote Sensing and GIS

Session

Computer Science and Communication Engineering

Description

Monitoring environment changes has become a necessity as a result of current environment deteriorating due to human activities like mining activities, water consuming, fishing, etc. In most developing countries like Kosovo, acquiring information concerning the current condition and the dynamic changes of the environment for a rapid monitoring is not easy. The present study provides the droughts in artificial lakes of the study area, Prishtina. Exactly, the lake of Badovci (Alb: Liqeni i Badovcit). The main aim of the study is to monitor and evaluate changes in water level over the seasons, using WRI time series outputs. As well as this technique of monitoring water will be used to evaluate drying level as e result of the climate changes from high carbon dioxide, and different activities that we mentioned before. In the research are used images from satellite Sentinel-2 which uses Visible Light, Near Infrared and Shortwave Infrared. Taking in consideration these bands we will use WRI based on them. The Sentinel-2 satellite images give us reliable information for monitoring water change according in NDWI and WRI. According to the present study, the WRI generated data gives us valuable informations about water droughts. However, the study demonstrated that the Lake of Badovci had changed from season to season, as a result of human activities and climate change as well. The water drought is visible even with naked eye, but the goal of this research is to have a cleaner image and data about the level and time of drought.
