OPTIMA Optimization for Sustainable Water Resources Management Kick-off Meeting, Malta October 2004 Lebanon Partner 8 WP 5 – Land use change: Remote Sensing & GIS data National Center for Remote Sensing M. Khawlie
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 • The capacity for human organisms to alter their environment, including water resources, covers the potential for self destruction. • Human existence depends on a multitude of natural resources which in turn can be negatively impacted by human actions. • Since Land cover is related to land use; thus, increasing the stresses due to human populations may lead, if not properly managed to an imbalance in water resources.
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 • Thus, the spatial distribution of land use/ land cover information and its changes is desirable for any planning, management and monitoring programs for water resources. • Planning means the assessment of future and making provisions for it. • Therefore, to ensure sustainable development with availability of water there is a necessity to monitor ongoing changes in LUC pattern over a period of time. • Remote sensing techniques along with GIS play a vital role in building the “desired” LUC change model and relevant water resources needs.
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Causes of Land use change/degradation Anthropic Natural (Climate) • Increase in population rate • (2%; between 1963 and 1990 ) • Immigration towards civilized areas • (about 80% of population in the coastal, urban region) • Neglecting agricultural areas • ( from1600km2 to 1030km2 between 1963 and 1990) • Excess use of natural resources • (e.g. water, soil, raw materials, • forests decrease 305 km2 in 35 years) • Excess of construction practices • (e.g. new settlements, roads, dams, etc.) • Use of new technologies • (e.g. greenhouses in urban areas, drilling water wells in remote areas, etc.) • Decline in precipitation rate • (about 950 to 800 mm in 50 years: • This led to an increase in dry lands, • decrease in irrigated areas, etc.) • 2. Increase in temperature extremes • (within 3Cº in 30 years: Helps forest fire, • droughts, desertification, torrents etc. ) • 3. Torrential rainfall • (Enhances flooding and mass movements, modifying drainage systems, etc.)
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Both (Land use changeanthropic & natural) are integrated with water resources Example:
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Data requirements • Time series data: “satellite imageries” of the study area within a period of 15 years would be undertaken through the process of change detection • DEM: to ensure the good overlay processing and referencing for different data sets “Ortho-rectification”, morphological distribution, drainage network extraction & sub-catchments identifications • Ancillary data: Topographic maps, water management issues, Hydrogeological data climatic data, socio-economical information, demographic developments, etc.. • Software: Remote sensing, GIS and their related extensions and modules
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 To apply the LUC Model in water resources, data must be compiled and standardized Required data via Remote SensingandGIS Direct : Indirect : Through assessing the effect of LUC on water resources modeling (WRM) and river run-off modeling (RRM) Through CORINE Land-Use classification- Level 3
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Direct : Beirut Time series data ( available at NCRS) Mediterranean Sea - Multispectral Landsat (30m) TM image -Two time series winter and spring (1988) Qaroun Lake Study Area Saida
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Time series data ( available at NCRS) Mediterranean Sea • Multispectral SPOT imageries (20m) • April & September images 1994 Study Area Saida Tyr
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Time series data ( available at NCRS) • Two images IRS (5m) and Landsat (30m) • Pan-sharpened to have better interpretation
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 DEM ( available at NCRS) -Elevation Contour lines (10m) Altimetric accuracy ≈ 3m • Utilization: • Ortho-rectification • Drainage network extractions • Sub-catchments delineation • Elevation distribution
CORINE classification Image classification would be based on the European CORINE ( CoORdination des INformation sur l’Environnement) classification (level 3). Adapted to the Lebanese standards The CORINE Land cover nomenclature is a physical and physiognomic land cover hierarchical nomenclature, which is strongly related to the process of image interpretation • Deductive analysis is required for some classes especially classes of level 3 • The aggregation of primitive objects required in some cases of spatial organization of landscape elements is a subjective process The spatial unit in CORINE corresponds both to: 1- an area of homogeneous cover ( water, forest,…) 2- an aggregation of small homogeneous areas representing a land cover structure Highly related to the extraction level, “level 2”, “level 3”, or even “level 4”
Plus OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 A spatial unit is attributed to a class not only on the basis of the satellite imagery, but also through the use of additional data available for image-interpreter Ancillary data essentially comprise: -standard topo maps -old thematic maps (where available) -statistical information -aerial photographs A set of pre-processed images (for example, using PCA, contrast stretching, filtering, color composition and NDVI) might be produced and integrated for LUC mapping and change detection
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Indirect data Deals with changes of land features and their effect on water resources. This is to be used in modeling (WRM) and (RRM) *Important notes in compiling and standardizing data: 1. The study area should be classified into a number of zones, such as: sub-catchments, clusters, typological zones, etc. 2. Data required will be compiled for each zone separately 3. Data must be presented on time seriesfor future scenarios 4. Emphasis should be concentrated on indicators and scenarios
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Data required To be integrated in a uniform framework. This is for easy access to advanced tools of data analysis, simulation modeling and multi-criteria decision support system DSS Treats 1. River basin objects 2. Meteorological data 3. Hydrological data 4. Water quality and economic data
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 1. River basin objects RS & GIS GIS 1. Supply Objects: River nodes: Gauging station, major confluences, major diversions, dams, lakes Springs nodes: Location of major springs Man-made nodes: Water wells, tanks, reservoirs Aquifers and Sub-catchment: Areal extent of aquifers and sub-basins 2. Demand Objects: Cities/villages: Areal extent of urban settlements Agricultural areas: Areal extent of irrigated lands Industrial areas: Areal extent of industrial areas
Water Nodes and Areas in Abou Ali River Basin, Lebanon OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Example
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Example from Abou-Ali River basin, Lebanon
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 2. Meteorological and 3. Hydrological Data Must be on a time-series • Hydrological properties of running water in rivers • Hydrological properties of issuing water from springs • Volume of precipitated and evapotranspirated water • Precipitation • Evapotranspiration • Supplementary climatic data (e.g. temperature, humidity, wind velocity, etc. ) Can be done by RS Partially achieved by RS
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Example: Calculating the volume of water in the form of snow Mediterranean Sea Beirut
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Example: Delineating catchment areas Mediterranean Sea
No RS involvement OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 4. Water Quality and Economic data It deals with water prices & LUC impact, which reflects services, distribution costs and environmental costs. It deals with water quality, with special emphasis on rivers, springs, aquifers as well as drinking water Water quality: Cl, SO4--, CO3--, HCO3-, F+++, Cu++, SiO2, TDS, etc.. Economic data: Water price for domestic, agricultural, industrial, tourism, etc… Water consumption for domestic, agricultural, industrial, etc…
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 The Land use change model Land use change model is a dynamic model that afford to space, time and system attributes. • LUC change model would be based on: • A set of space organized into discrete areal units ( land use classes based on CORINE classification) • Transition rules which are the real driving forces behind the model dynamics • Functions which serve as the algorithms that code real-world behavior into the artificial “raster” world • Time or temporal resolution that maintain the uniform application for the transitional rules
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Variables/ Driving forces Variables would be introduced in a GIS format to implement the LUC change model • Urban growth rate • Climatic data • Estimates dynamic water budget, supply/demand, reliability of supply • Integrated master land use planning • National environmental policies, programs & regulations
OPTIMA: Kick-off Meeting/ Malta 2004 Model Examples - Transition probability where the rows of the matrix sum up to one and the diagonal cells represent the probability of no change - Map Algebra ( Rules, Conditions, operator and functions) If condition AND/OR condition Then P(n,m) Change-Operator Value Condition: TRUE/FALSE, FRACTION, FREQUENCY & LAST Operators: REL-DECREASE, REL-INCREASE, ABS….etc Functions: FRACTION (N,i), FREQUENCY (N,i), LAST (i) Example: If FRACTION (1.1,2) > 500 p(1.1) RE-INCREASE 500 If more than half the immediate neighbors in a 5x5 area around a cell are city (1.1), then the probability of transition increase by 50%
