Glenmore reservoir (Vegetation, water quality) Define the problem: To examine the water level of reservoir and quality Data Available: Landsat TM1 – TM4 50m x 50m georeferenced. Method: Looking at the red band only(calgary3), and knowing that water absorbs red wavelengths with depth, we took the information from a histogram of the red band. There is a peak in the histogram right around zero and then a valley until about 10. We decided that looking at a range between 0 and 10 would give the best visual representation of the water depth in the Glenmore Reservoir and the surrounding area. Areas of black are deep water, graduating through to lighter shades for shallow water. The dark green areas are areas where there is no water. Results: The incoming sun radiation and sky irradiance, on a body of water will either be reflected at the surface, transmitted through the surface and then reflected by the water body, or transmitted through the water body and reflected from the bottom.
