Abstract
Remote sensing is widely used for environmental monitoring including water bodies, forests and glaciers. Remote sensing technology has significant potential in the study of water bodies in terms of monitoring the distribution, change detection, and detection of contaminants. Since water resources has direct influence on various economic and developmental activities at regional and global level and further the global climatic change has prompted the regular monitoring and maintenance of water resources. Thus it is imperative to regularly monitor the spatial and temporal, changes and degradations in the water bodies. The main focus of this study is to monitor the seasonal dynamics of selected water bodies of the rural Bengaluru region with the help of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery of medium spatial and temporal resolution. The paper presents the processing of S-1A SAR imagery for water body mapping, extraction and determining the water surface area. The seasonal changes in water catchment area observed from the data could be correlated and validated with rainfall data and prevailing weather conditions during the period.
