Monitoring and Assessment of Water Quality in Coastal Lake using High Resolution Imagery and GIS
(ResearchGate, 2017-01)
Dubai has been an example of rapid development in recent years, adversely affecting water quality in the surrounding areas. One such effect is the reoccurring algal bloom (high chlorophyll-a concentration) in Dubai Creek, ...
Investigation of a fecal contamination of groundwater and surface water at Al Wasit Nature Reserve, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
(EM International, 2016)
Domestic waste contamination has adverse health effects and detrimental ecological impact. This paper presents the results of an investigation of domestic waste contamination; specifically fecal contamination of ground and ...
GIS-based study on the Susceptibility of Dubai Creek (UAE) to Eutrophication
(Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2016-06)
Rapid urbanization in the UAE has led to some environmental implications, one of which concerns Dubai Creek – a major attraction in the city of Dubai. The creek’s water quality monitoring program showed increased concentrations ...
A GIS-based spatiotemporal study of the variability of water quality in the Dubai Creek, UAE
(IWA Publishing, 2016)
This paper presentsthe outcomes of a studyon thewater qualityof Dubai Creek which aimed to assess its eutrophication status. Field water quality data from stations along the creek collected in 2012 and 2013 were used. ...
Communication Network for Ultrasonic Acoustic Water Leakage Detectors
(IEEE, 2020-02-10)
Water leaks in the distribution network produce significant losses and cause serious economic inconvenience especially in areas with water shortage. In this paper, the operational aspects of the most popular offline detection ...
Enhancement of SAR Speckle Denoising Using the Improved Iterative Filter
(IEEE, 2020)
The recent advancement in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology has enabled high-resolution imaging capability that calls for efficient speckle filtering algorithms to preprocess radar imagery. Since the introduction ...
Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering
(IEEE, 2020)
Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar polarimetry (PolSAR) is essential for the extraction of significant information. In this study, the authors introduced a hybrid iterative filtering scheme. The proposed iterative ...
Land Use/Land Cover Changes Impact on Groundwater Level and Quality in the Northern Part of the United Arab Emirates
(MDPI, 2020)
This study aims to develop an integrated approach for mapping and monitoring land use/land cover (LULC) changes and to investigate the impacts of LULC changes and population growth on groundwater level and quality using ...
Polarimetric SAR Image Filtering by Infinite Number of Looks Prediction Technique
(IEEE, 2021)
Speckle filtering in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images is indispensable before the extraction of the useful information. The minimum mean square error estimate of the filtered pixels ...
Non-Destructive Water Leak Detection Using Multitemporal Infrared Thermography
(IEEE, 2021)
Waterleakage detection and localization in distribution networks pipelines is a challenge for utility companies. For this purpose, thermal Infrared Radiation (IR) techniques have been widely applied in the literature. ...
