Remote sensing exploration of piezometric depressions in the Taoudeni basin (Mali-Mauritania)

In the Taoudeni basin, the water table is so deep that the construction and operation of wells and boreholes are exceptionally expensive. For planning water supply programs, it is therefore essential to use reliable piezometric maps to predict the depth and cost of future drilling. To produce such p...

Description
Summary:In the Taoudeni basin, the water table is so deep that the construction and operation of wells and boreholes are exceptionally expensive. For planning water supply programs, it is therefore essential to use reliable piezometric maps to predict the depth and cost of future drilling. To produce such piezometric maps, we tested a method based on the observation of pastoral wells on satellite images. Using high-resolution (
