Site Characterization Of Surface And Sub-Surface Spatial Data In Producing Riverbank Filtration Site Suitability Map

Remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) and electrical resistivity technique were used in this study to develop the site suitability map for river bank filtration (RBF) locations for a case study in Jenderam Hilir, Dengkil. A high resolution 2012 GeoEye-1 satellite image was classified i...

A high resolution 2012 GeoEye-1 satellite image was classified into six classes using the supervised maximum likelihood classification process. The classified image was further analyzed using GIS technique such as overlaying, buffering and Boolean analysis, to identify the suitability of a RBF location area based on location, distance from the river and distance from built up area.

Electrical-imaging resistivity results showed the lithology of sandy clay to sandy silt sediments at more than 3 m deep.

Based on lithology, a potential water-bearing aquifer was identified at a depth of 3 m depth which is good agreement with interpreted results.
