AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC METHOD FOR STUDYING GROUND WATER,
Abstract
This paper presents a general review of the use of the aerial photographic method in the search for ground water in various parts of the Soviet Union. The individual indicators of the presence of ground water shown on aerial photographs are individually discussed; these include such features as vegetation, relief, culture features and many others. The article discusses the most useful scales of photography, cameras, light filters, aircraft, proper season for conducting the work, most suitable weather and best time of day. Specific work in this field is discussed, particularly that done in Turkmenia and the Caspian Lowland, but this is also contrasted with work done in other landscape regions of the country. The various criteria used in different regions of the USSR are listed. Specific aspects of the field work which supplements aerial photography are in some detail. The significant role of the geobotanical method is discussed, followed by some comments on the preparation of interpretation keys and photomosaics and the role played by black and white and color prints.
