Impact of land use/land cover changes on groundwater resources in Al Ain region of the United Arab Emirates using remote sensing and GIS techniques
Urbanisation causes land degradation problems, including an increased pressure on
natural resources and management of water resources. This study aims to investigate the
impact of the spatio-temporal dynamics of land use land cover (LULC) changes on
groundwater table in the region of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 2006 to 2016.
The Landsat images, Landsat ETM for 2006 and Landsat 8 for 2016, were acquired from the
earth explorer site. A semi-supervised hybrid classification method was used for image …
