Abstract

Spectral reflection properties of contaminated water were studies and
experimentally measured using (Radiometric Measurement).An experimental
simulating system was designed to measure contaminated water reflection in
similar conditions to those of the marsh water regarding the rate of suspended
solids and in similar spectral bands to those used in the detectors of landsat satellite
(TM sensor) using the local measurement radiometer. It is an attempt to estimate
the rate of suspended solid and dissolved objects through measuring spectral
reflection to choose the best spectral bands which can achieve such relation and to
make use of the results of experimental spectral reflection simulation of marsh
water in categorizing space photos type and depth and to estimate the rate of
suspended solids and salts and eventually to combine experimental measurements
with space photo to obtain a conclusion of marsh water properties (0.63-
0.69μm)band can achieve best relation between suspended solids with surface
waterreflectance.
