“…Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are modern tools of technology utilized for detecting, monitoring and management of natural resources and environment (Garg, 2015). Analysing and extracting reliable and consistent information via RS technology enables to form a base dataset to be further utilized for monitoring and mapping wetlands (Durduran, 2010) that has so far proven to be an efficient, helpful and frequent application tool in over large areas with low cost and time (De Roeck et al, 2008;Adam et al, 2010;Klemas, 2014). Optical and radar remote sensing obtained from many different satellite sensors such as Landsat MSS/TM /ETM + (Ji et al, 2009), SPOT (Dehouck et al, 2012) and AVHRR (Prigent et al, 2001) have been used for wetland identification and observation, prediction of biological parameters and classification of vegetation cover (Simard et al, 2006;Evans and Costa, 2013).…”

Remote sensing that is a low cost data source capable of making temporal observations has more advantages than the traditional methods to obtain land-use/cover change maps. In this study, temporal land-use/cover change of surface water bodies in Konya Closed Basin was evaluated via Landsat satellite images for the past 30 years. The basin, located in Central Anatolia Region of Turkey, faces water scarcity problems; however, wet agricultural activities are still favoured and practiced. Therefore, water resources are becoming more important than ever; public complains about long-lasting drought conditions and on lessening of surface water resources. There are 16 surface water bodies, and 3 of them are lakes; whereas the rest are wetlands of importance. Two of them are Ramsar sites. Results indicate that the surface area of the water bodies in Konya Closed Basin declined by approximately 23.5% within the inspection years. One of the important wetlands of the basin named as Akgol Wetland has almost lost its water surface by 96% at the same time interval, and is in danger of extinction. Thus, this vulnerable wetland has been focused on in the study. The decrease of water surface in the wetland is matched with the meteorological conditions.
