Abstract
In this study, the environmental monitoring of Anzali international wetland (based on water surface temperature (WST), chlorophyll - a (Chl-a) and transparency (secchi disk depth (SDD)) parameters) using Landsat images in the period 1985–2018 has been studied. Based on the results of zoning maps, in 2018 and 2013, WST fluctuations are higher, with the lowest water temperature observed in 2007. Based on Chl-a, the trend for this parameter is increasing from 1985 to 2018. Also, from 1985 to 2018, we saw a decrease in transparency (SDD), which could indicate an increase in opacity and concentration of suspended and organic particles in the wetland, which was consistent with the results of chlorophyll - a. Graph examination of wetland showed more changes belonged to the central and eastern parts of the wetland. The results of this study indicate that in the Anzali international wetland, comparing the values of the parameters studied, there are not good conditions for water quality and the need for a solution and management policies to improve the condition of this unique ecosystem is necessary more than ever.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water and Environment Technology is an Open Access, fully peer-reviewed international journal for all aspects of the science, technology and management of water and the environment. The journal’s articles are clearly placed in a broader context to be relevant and interesting to our global audience of researchers, engineers, water technologists, and policy makers. JWET is the official journal of the Japan Society on Water Environment (JSWE) published in English, and welcomes submissions that take basic, applied or modeling approaches to the interesting issues facing the field. Topics can include, but are not limited to: water environment, soil and groundwater, drinking water, biological treatment, physicochemical treatment, sludge and solid waste, toxicity, public health and risk assessment, test and analytical methods, environmental education and other issues. JWET also welcomes seminal studies that help lay the foundations for future research in the field. JWET is committed to an ethical, fair and rapid peer-review process. It is published six times per year. It has two article types: Original Articles and Review Articles.
