1 Mapping small reservoirs in semi-arid regions using multitemporal SAR: methods and applications Donato Amitrano Gerardo Di Martino Antonio Iodice Daniele Riccio Giuseppe Ruello University of Napoli, Italy Maria Nicolina Papa Francesco Mitidieri University of Salerno, Italy

2 outline motivations case study multitemporal approach

3 motivations The problem \\ semiarid climate Sahel region

4 motivations The problem \\ small reservoirs Used for Livestock Irrigation Groundwater recharge Human consumption Characteristics Small capacity (less than 1Mm 3 ) Low depth (rarely > 5m)

5 motivations The case study \\ Burkina Faso - population: 15 million - capital : Ouagadougou - life expectation: < 50 years Sahel region

6 motivations The user needs 1. DEM via Interferomatric processing 3. Hydrological modeling 2,E+04 Ouhigouya 2,E+04 1,E Surface water monitoring 5,E+03 0,E+00 02/10 04/10 06/10 08/10 10/10 model estimates 12/10 02/11 04/11 06/11 08/11 10/11 SAR estimates 12/11

7 motivations The approach 1. development of hydrologic models 2. development of remote sensing models 3. integration of models and generation of value added products 1. hydrologic models 3. integration and new product generation 2. remote sensing models

8 multitemporal approach Available dataset \\ The Cosmo SkyMed data The mission Constellation of 4 satellites, equipped with microwave high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) The products 16 stripmap images 3 m resolution HH polarization Stripmap 3m resolution 40 km coverage

9 Methodology multitemporal approach

11 1. Digital Elevation Model Input: appropriate SAR image pair Methodology: SAR Interferometry Original validation Goals : creation of DEM with improved resolution erosion estimation creation of 3D classification maps

12 DEM generation Master Image: Coherence Image: 28/

13 DEM generation N Interferometric fringes E Obtained DEM

14 Comparison with available DEMs Koumbri SRTM: resolution 90 m ASTER: resolution 30 m COSMO: resolution 9 m

15 Comparison with GPS points Point id GPS SRTM ASTER COSMO (3) 307 (-2) 312 (3) (4) 306 (-6) 314 (2) (1) 354 (-4) 356 (-2) (2) 327 (-6) 332 (-1)

16 A new DEM verification via amplitude measurements

17 2. Surface water monitoring Input: set of SAR images Methodology: spatial registration radiometric calibration multi-temporal image analysis Goals: erosion monitoring Inland water monitoring crop monitoring monitoring of reservoirs

26 Crop monitoring Available water volume monitoring

27 3. Hydrological modeling Input: SAR products Methodology: water balance supported by data acquired by multi-temporal SAR images Goals: Water availability monitoring crop monitoring monitoring of reservoirs

28 Modelling the time evolution of water storage A pseudo-probability of presence of seasonal water SWPP (Seasonal Water Pseudo- Probability) is defined as: RGB GT SWPP Mask SWPP = Gˆ B B + G G where Gˆ = 1 G 255

29 Modelling the time evolution of water storage

30 Derivation of the volumes- areas relationship Reservoir area estimates are more easy to obtain than volume estimates. The area-volume relation may be used in the area thanks to its homogenous morphology

31 conclusions Thank you Work opportunities and culture Value added products at no costs for populations
