| Abstract | The study aims at the estimation of coast lines, water surface areas and water
volumes of the Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia with respect to the seasonal change. JERS-1
SAR data were mainly used together with many other satellite data such as JERS-1
VNIR, ERS-1 SAR, LAlTDSAT TM, NOAA/ AVHRR etc. as well as topographic maps
and hydrological records. It was successful to obtain the coast lines at the maximum and
minimum water level and to interpolate the intermediate water level with the partial coast
lines obtained froin JERS-1 SAR and ERS-1 Data at different water level.
It was found that only SAR data were possible to detect the coastlines at flood
season, because water surface or boundary is not visible in optical image due to the
submerged trees in flood season.
The results obtained from the study would be very useful for water use planning
and flood management of the Tonle Sap Lake. |
