Abstract:
In recent years, Kani Borazan wetland in Mahabad has been at risk due to the drought crisis in the watershed of Urmia Lake, which mostly connected with human societies. Considering the importance of this environmental issue as well as the lack of grounded data using remote sensing technology and geographic information system, changes can be made in the region. Four Landsat 8 satellite images during 2013 to 2016 were investigated.for this purpose. The NDVI maps analysis was done within ArcGIS. Finally, small changes in the water range, dense vegetation, poor vegetation (marshland) have been estimated over the past four years. The results showed that vegetation cover increased in 2016 compared to 2013, while wetland area has decreased in recent years. Wetlands are indicator of climate change in a region. Due to the decrease in the extent and water level of the wetland, it is suggested that more precise conservation plans be applied to reduce and control water consumption in the catchment area of the area. It is also necessary to provide sustainable vegetation monitoring in the wetland.
