MAPPING WETLANDS OF THE BIG SFAX (CENTRE-EAST OF TUNISIA): TOOL FOR DECISION MAKING
Journal Title: Larhyss Journal - Year 2017, Vol 31, Issue 31
Abstract
Mapping of wetlands of the big Sfax was realized using the typology of the Ramsar convention. The identification and delimitation of these environments is based of visual interpretation of Google Earth high resolution satellite image and field observations. The map produced from the wetlands served as a tool for the study of revalorisation and integration of these ecosystems in the rehabilitation and decontamination projects of Sfax city.
