An Appraisal of Remote-Sensing Monitoring on Vegetation Restoration and Ecological Water-Conveying in the Lower Reaches of Tarim River
There is a common phenomenon of degeneration of ecological environment due to over-exploring and over-using water resources in inland river basin in arid region. To transport water to the dry rivers and areas of ecological degeneration is a necessary process and basic measure for restoring the ecological environment. Based on monitoring data of surface water, groundwater, vegetation restoration in the seven periods of water-conveying in the lower reaches of Tarim River, an appraisal of relative vegetation coverage ranks dependent on the systematic analysis of normalized difference vegetation index ( NDVI) by using remote sensing after water-conveying is provided in this paper.
