主　　题：Water resources 

摘      要：Substantial progress has been made in applying remote sensing data from spacecraft to water-resources management and hydrologic problems. Landsat-D and the primary instrument, the thematic mapper, offer substantial potential for providing improved information for a wide range of applications. In particular, significant technological advantages are: the spatial resolution (30 meters in the reflected solar-radiation bands) and the greater spectral coverage (seven bands) and narrower bands relative to previous Landsat instruments, and the radiometric resolution (256 versus 64 levels over the sensor dynamic range). Technological advances such as that typified by Landsat-D and planned microwave sensors indicate that significantly more applications to water-resources studies are possible.
