| Abstract: | Construction of a highway almost in the middle portion of Lake Urumieh affected the pattern of sedimentation process in the Lake. The resulting effects were studied by the use of multisensor, multitemporal and multiformat satellite data. Results obtained from this study clearly show the possibility of partitioning of this important waterbody in the near future. |
