![]() ![]() Both factors explain the cause of the high amount of pollution on the coastal area. Adding to that, it occupies an area of 3 million square kilometers. An estimated 300 million people live along the shores on the Mediterranean Sea. Human’s activities have transformed the Mediterranean into one of the most polluted seas in the world. The Mediterranean region links 21 countries and attracts millions of tourists, and this has caused the environ-mental degradation in the Mediterranean sea and this degradation is increasing. The types and sources of pollutants caused by human’s activities, such as the pollution coming from industries, coastal runoff and wastewater effluents, are diverse and have a potential effect and fate on the environment and are threatening, alarmingly, the coastal areas. The growing population and the industrially based lifestyle has led to an increase in the anthropogenic impact in the world and has brought with it new water challenges including increasing water supply, inacceptable water quality in many areas, increasing number of aquatic ecosystems that are in a danger of collapse and an increasing number of pollutants. The length and width of each anomaly at each site shows that during the year ofĢ015 most of the anomalies are larger than in 2014. ![]() The least extended pollution is during July 20. The most presumed polluted months being in 2014 during April and November and Kalamoun, Chekka, Batroun, Amchit, Jbeil, Jounieh, Nahr Beirut and Ouzai with Permanently polluted coastal sites are evident in Tripoli, The sea which caused an intense water movement and wide extension of anomalies In contrary, during the wet season, rivers had an intense flow into ![]() The results also showed that during theĭry season, there is low movement of water causing a least extension of theĪnomalies. To the presence of basalts rocks, and geothermal heating, or the pollution of Results showed anomalies in Akkar region. Different routines are applied to revealĪnomalous features with the goal being to discriminate polluted water in the Resolution, are analyzed using ENVI 5.2 and ArcGIS 10.3.1 geospatial softwareįor the years of 20. Operational Land Imager (OLI) satellite images, which have medium spatial Identify their characteristics, remote sensing data is used. To detect the sources of pollution along this zone, as well as to It mainly affects the coastal zone adjacent to areas of dense Pollution is a serious geoenvironmental problem affecting ![]()
