“…Lineaments can be manmade structures such as roads and canals or geological structures such as faults/fractures, folds, and unconformities, differences in vegetation and soil moisture, or drainage networks (rivers). Lineaments can be mapped during a field survey, or by using air photos and remote sensing data either manually or by means of pattern recognition algorithms [6]. On contrary lineaments can be traced from remote sensed data or digital terrain models by mathematical algorithms.…”

The region of investigation is part of the western desert of Iraq covering an area of about 12,400 km 2 , this region includes several large wadis discharging to the Euphrates River. Since the Tectonic features in particular fault zones play a significant role with respect to groundwater flow in hard rock terrains. The present research is focus on investigate lineaments that have been classified as suspected faults by means of remote sensing techniques and digital terrain evaluation in combination with interpolating groundwater heads and MLU pumping tests model in a fractured rock aquifer, Lineaments extraction approach is illustrated a fare matching with suspected faults, moreover these lineaments conducted an elevated permeability zone.

The present study deals with evaluation of landslide prone zones in the northern part of El Salvador. The study area falls onto a tectonically and seismically active zone of Central America with on-going neo-tectonic activities. Focus has been put on applying the technique that allows a fast assessment of large regions. The analysis was based on digital data sets including various derivatives of digital elevation models (DEMs) as well as Landsat-based information such as microlineament density and landcover; seismic database, geological and morphological maps. Spatial multi-layered information has been used for landslide susceptibility analysis. Here, an inventory map of 363 landslides induced in 1998 by hurricane Mitch were used to produce a dependent variable, the statistical hazard analysis has been carried out while the zonal statistics was used to assign the weights for individual classes of the studied factors. Thus, all the relevant thematic layers representing various independent factors (slope, aspect, relative relief, lithology, drainage density, microlineament density and land cover) were relatively weighted and classified due to its disposition to cause landslides. Principle Component Analyses (PCA) was used as a multivariate statistical method that allowed decorrelation of the individual hazard triggers. It has been observed that the high potential zones were found to have very high lineament density, high relative relief and drainage density areas. On the young volcanic pyroclastic deposits, heavy rainfall and sparse vegetation cover cause persistent recurrence of landslides along this region. As result, a landslide susceptibility map integrating morphological, lithological and hydrological information was computed. Delineated hazard zones were again validated with the landslide inventory map and both, the model and terrain mapping, showed a good agreement as the highest class occupied the 64% of the landslide areas and the two highest classes together occupied 90% of the landslide areas, on the other hand none of the landslides fell into the lowest class.

“…Also, the primary extracted lineaments originated from aerial photograph analyses, and these lineaments were modified with the Landsat TM-5 images, shaded relief maps made using DEM data, and a field survey ( Fig. 8; Kim et al 2004b). The systematic grids are constructed for a whole study area to calculate the lineament length density (= lineament length/unit area) within each circle of grid point.…”

As the purpose of the regional groundwater monitoring station is to observe both quality and the levels of groundwater in South Korea, it is most efficient and economical to establish the monitoring station at a site able to observe these two items simultaneously. A weighting and ranking method using GIS technology was used for the development of a site selection model. This model uses a land-use type of target area with regard to quality and a lineament length density with regard to quantity. It was shown that this weighting and ranking method is appropriate and convenient for selecting a monitoring site because it proposes the relative importance and priority of groundwater monitoring for each site. Additionally, if this method is used together with the other method like an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, the optimal and specific monitoring site can be easily selected and the additional field investigation can be reduced.
