| Summary | By applying remote sensing technologies, we tried to measure depth and temperature of water and height of tree, and classify vegetation and grain size. Applying GIS technologies, we developed the tool for estimating habitats based on information of depth of water, velocity of flow, vegetation and so on. After that, by using the tool we estimated the plans of river improvement. |
