Remotely sensed data such as aerial photos, Landsat-5/7 TM/ETM+ and Quickbird image data have been used to track the urbanization activity from 1963 to 2008. In-situ GPS measurements have been used to locate in-situ the boundaries of the catchment area. The results clearly illustrate that tremendous urban development has taken place ranging from 0.9 to 33% from 1963 to 2008, respectively. A flood risk assessment and hydraulic analysis were also performed | ISSN: | 16849981 | DOI: | 10.5194/nhess-10-2235-2010 | Rights: | Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United States | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
