Land Cover/Land Use Change Impact on Surface Runoff in Small Catchments

Land cover/land use is one of the influencing factors when it comes to catchment runoff hence it is necessary to carefully consider both spectral and spatial characteristics of the sensor and accuracy of representative areas of predefined classes. Due to satisfying accuracy of land cover/land use classification on a regional scale, the classification was done using Landsat ETM image along with the orthophoto of the study area. Definition of the future land cover/land use scenarios was based on existing conditions analysis in terms of existing erosion rate and anthropological influences as the area is very interesting from the energy production point of view as well as the agriculture. Results of the analysis confirmed the assumption of the adequacy of remote sensing methods applied not only in terms of land cover/land use classification but also as a tool in complex erosion rate analysis.
