Groundwater potential zonation for basaltic watersheds using satellite remote sensing data and GIS techniques

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the findings of groundwater potential zonation mapping at the Bharangi River basin, Thane district, Maharastra, India, using Satty's Analytical Hierarchal Process model with the aid of GIS tools and remote sensing data.

The use of remote sensing and GIS in watershed level analyses of non-point source pollution problems

TL;DR: In this article, a methodology to determine nitrate pollution "contributing zones" within a given basin based on basin characteristics was examined. And a land use/land cover-nutrientlinkage model was developed which suggests that forests act as a sink, and as the proportion of forest inside a contributing zone increases (or agricultural land decreases), nitrate levels downstream will decrease.

Terrestrial laser scanning intensity data applied to damage detection for historical buildings

TL;DR: A methodology to combine the technology of the terrestrial laser scanner with the techniques of digital image processing in order to study damages on stony materials that constitute historical buildings shows the potential of the use of intensity data from terrestrial scanner for the recognition and characterization of certain pathologies in building materials that constitutes historical buildings.
