Proposed is an investigation to develop and correlate remote sensing from satellites and aircraft into an effective prototype system for California statewide water quality surveillance. Aircraft overflights, computer enhanced recognition of pollution signatures, ground truth measurements, and data processing will be employed to develop a simplified and automated monitoring system. ERTS A image data will be used for nine major drainage basins of California having unique water quality influences from waste discharges, thermal contributions, oil spills, turbidity, sea water intrusion, agricultural drainage, toxicity, biostimulation, and eutrophication.
