Utilizing vegetation vigor as an aid to assessing groundwater flow pathways from space / by R.P. Bukata, J.E. Bruton and J.H. Jerome.: En13-5/89-59E-PDF
"There currently exists a large volume of satellite data spanning the passive visible and near-infrared radiance responses. This work investigates the ability of such optical data to delineate groundwater flow pathways in a freshwater basin by utilizing the vigor of the vegetative cover to delineate the discharge, recharge and transition areas defining that basin. Selecting the Big Otter and Big Creek basins in southern Ontario, Canada (both of which drain into northern Lake Erie), such analyses were shown to be very effective indelineating groundwater flow regimes for the LANDSAT-1 overpass of July 6, 1974 when the basin was under maximum state of vegetation bloom. The seasonal growth cycles of the indigenous natural and cultivated crop canopies and their impact on such classification activities are also discussed"--Abstract.
