AB  - Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on site observation. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (Land and water) by means of propagated signals. It may be split into active remote sensing or passive when information is merely recorded. This book , Remote Sensing in Land and Water, contains eight chapters. Chapter one discusses in greater detail of remote sensing techniques for supporting water-leakage system. Second chapter aims to provide an up-to-date overview for remote sensing in land and water. The goal of third chapter is to develop a generic approach for empirically assessing the likelihood of collecting satellite imagery given a spatial/temporal distribution of disaster locations. Fourth chapter reviews on remote sensing for mapping and monitoring wetlands and small lakes in south east Brazil. Wetlands and small lakes are areas with great ecological value that are increasingly threatened through excessive pressure on water resources. In some cases, this pressure can lower the aquifer and result in a significant reduction of the area of small lakes or the drying out of wetlands. Fifth chapter aims to introduce an application of remote sensing to recent tsunami disasters. In the past, acquiring tsunami damage information was limited to only field surveys and/ or using aerial photographs. In the last decade, remote sensing can help us survey tsunami damage in many ways. Integrated remote sensing and GIS applications for sustainable watershed management has been described in chapter six. Seventh chapter describes large scale mapping of forests and land cover with synthetic aperture radar data. And last chapter gives the information about monitoring of water leakages.
