Remote sensing, encompassing the study of satellite data and aerial photographs, is an extremely powerful technique for earth resources exploration, mapping and management. It involves measurements of the electromagnetic (EM) radiation in the wavelength range of about 0.4 μm-1 m, from sensors flying on aerial or space platforms to characterize and infer properties of the terrain. Remote sensing has evolved primarily from the methods of aerial photography and photo-interpretation used extensively in the 1950s and 1960s. The technique has grown rapidly during the last 3–4 decades. In the context of groundwater studies, remote sensing is of great value as a very first reconnaissance tool, the usual sequence of investigations being: satellite images, aerial photographs, geophysical data, drilling.
