Abstract

Lakes, as one of the most important aquatic ecosystems, are a coherent and interconnected set of aquatics or water-dependent plants, and the interference of natural and unnatural factors can disrupt this coherence and quality. One of the efficient methods of monitoring the changes in these ecosystems is remote sensing, which helps to monitor the changes caused by nature and human activities on lakes. The current research was conducted to study the consequences of climate and land use changes on the surface of Bakhtegan Lake over 18 years (2000 to 2017). To monitor the surface fluctuations of Bakhtegan Lake, Landsat satellite images were used in the research period, in the months with the highest surface (May and June) and the lowest surface (August and September). Lake surface and various land use areas have been extracted through a multi-band classification method and using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method. Then, statistical methods were used to determine of impact of each variable on changes in the lake's surface. Results indicated that the surface of Bakhtegan Lake has experienced periodic fluctuations during different years and precipitation and evaporation variables have an impact on the lake surface.
