Remote Sensing Technique to Recognise Physical Characteristics of Water Bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Kazakhstan has been facing a significant reduction in its renewable freshwater resources due to various anthropogenic factors (climate change, agricultural practices, industrialization, urbanization). The reduction of renewable freshwater has led to water scarcity, desertification, health impacts, economic impacts. The relevance of the subject matter is determined by the importance of remote sensing of water bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan using modern methods of satellite biometrics to form objective ideas about the real state of the country's water resources. The purpose of this paper is to study the currently existing effective methods for recognising the physical characteristics of water bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan using remote sensing. The methodology of this research work is based on a combination of methods of system analysis of the possibilities of remote sensing of water bodies using satellite bathymetry with an analytical study of methods for recognising the physical characteristics of water bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan by remote sensing. The results obtained during this research indicate the high accuracy of the remote sensing method using satellite bathymetry and the feasibility of its practical application in the future for the successful solution of similar problems.
