Introduction
The purpose of the project is to evaluate the various
ground resource problems of Turkey. Using EFTS images. The main
object of the studies to be carried out within this region is
primarily to establish rosearch methods to use the underground
water found in the limestone formations in the agric„ltural
irrigation activities and also evaluate the procedures used
to determine the location of fracture zones within the calcerous
formations by making correlations with the avaiieble data. In
so far as the studies in the agricultural field are concerned,
this project will be of Creat assistance to analyse the selec-
tion of agricultural fields land use, soil-water relation,
natural ve getation cover, planted and fallow areas, irrigated
and non irrigated areas, controlling efforts for disease control
and pest control and finally to evaluate the applicabilLty of
EBTS data to oil exploration in the Jrfa Region.
Technique
Twenty two black and white images in four seperate bands
of Urfa region have been received as required  by the projects.
There is no color composites in hard at present of any
field related to the project. The studies performed on the
existir.^- ^ma_;es once more showed that the geological studies
are carried -at best on the 5 th band, the EydrogeoloL7ical
studies on the 6 th and 7 th bands. Eowever, the color composi-
tes -hould be obtained for agricultural activity studies.
H,ydrot;eologic Studies:
A photo mosaic was prepared from the 6 th and 7 th bands
of the Solloo.ing images: 2194-7285, 2140-72',2, 2193-7231,
22.28-7171, 2228-7165, 2228-7162, 2175-7233, 217 4-7175, 2175-7240,
2209-7113 In addition false color images were obtained by using
70 mm. positive films of the above ni;mbered images on the viewer
and these were then used together with the original images in
studies. During the interpretation stave of hydro preolo,ic studies
ground truth information ^as obtained from a careful study of
previous investigations of ground water in the limestone areas.
In addition aerophot,os were used to locate the trace of frac-
tures.

Petroleum Studies:
These studies are presently carried out on the photo
mosaic map as well as on the viewer. Color composites are being
extensively used and the previous investigations relating to
oil exploration in the Urfa region are utilized as the ground
truth for the results obtained from the images.
Problems:
The :rain problem cncountred up to now is at the stage of
obtaining images from the Eros Data Center making extra number
of copies for distrubution. As an example an image sent from
EELS Data Center in the middle of September as reached the
investigators in the first part of November. However it can now
be stated that the data flow is now quite no„mal and no more
uelays during distrubution of images is anticipated.
Publications:
In the studies carried out up to now, the scientific
correspondence between the investigators is successfully managed
by formal or informal written or verbal comminications.
Data quality and delivery:
The information concerning the delivery conditions was
pointed out under the heading of "Problems". It can in general
said that the quality of data is between good and very good.
It is understood that ver y detailed studies of the Urfa region
can be carried out by the images in hand.
Conclusions:
The following conclusions can be drawn from the studies
on the photomosaic maps.
a. Fracture trace maps can be prepared
b. The number of fracture traces, their extensions, their
locations and intersections obtained from the photo mosaic maps,
can be compared with those obtained from panchromatic photograp-
her.
c. The relationship, of fracture to springs can be inves-
tigated.
d. The correlation between fracture zones and whell produc-
tivity can be utilized to improve the choice of drilling loca-
tions.
e. Useful information can be provided for the construction
of irrigation systems.
f. Information can be supplied to efforts control the plant
dizeas^ .
g. The pectiside damage to plant and agricultural products
can be determined.
h. Tectonic map which can be used to locat ,3 the petroleum
provinces of the region can be constructed.

Introduction
The purpose of the project is to evaluate the various
ground resource problems of Turkey, using ERIS images. The main
object of the studies is primarily to establish research methods
to locate the known or new copper ore mineralization. zones in
this region, to prepare fracture zone maps in the limestone for-
mations and to study other karst problems of the area.
4
In the studies of agriculture, land-use soil characteris-
tic, soil-water relation, drainage pattern, natural vegetation
cover planted and fallow areas, irrigated and nonirrigated areas
will be studied. Also the environmental hazard maps will be
prepared.
R	 Technique
Nineteen black and white images in four seperate bands
of Elazig region have been received and rest of images are
expected. There is no color composites in hand at present of any
field related to the project. The studies performed on the exis-
ting images once more showed that the geological studies are
carried out bP3t on the 5th band, the hydrogeological studies
on the 6th and 7th bands. However, the color composites should
be obtained for agricultural activity studies. In this region
geological, hydrogeological and agriculturel studies have been
carried out.
Geology
For studies, a photomosaic was prepared from the 5th
band of the following images: 2194-7285, 2194-7222, 2193-7224,
2175-7231, 2174-7172, 2229-7220. An attemp is made to determine
any relationship between the mineralization zones and the regi-
onal tectonic framework. A photomosaic is prepared using the
5th bands of images, numbered above. It is then attempted to
draw the formation boundries using these false color images.
In all these studies, photogeological information available were
utilized to a great extent.
H,ydrofr,eolocy
A photomosaic was prepared from the 6th and 7th bands of
the above images. EFTS images were mainly used to seek the
relationship between the previously determined faults and frac-

'	 Additional work was carried out on the false color images, pre-
pared using the viewer.
Agriculture
Dn the photomocnic maps following work were carried out:
Available agricultural field$, soil-water raletionship, drainage
pattern, natural vegetation, planted and fallow areas, irrigated
and nonirrigated areas, vegetation pattern and epidemic plant
disease and peat control.
Problems.
The main problem encountered, up to now is at the stage
of obtaining images from the EROS Data Center and making extra
number of copies for distribution. As an example an image sent
from Eros Data Center in the middle of september has reached
the investigators in the first part of November. However, it
can now be stated that the data flow is now quite normal and no
more delays during distribution of images is anticipated.
Publications
In the studies carried out up to now, the scientific
correspondence between the investigators is succesfully managed
1	 by formal or informal written or verbal CV11111i11111iG^1W^^.
Data Quality And Delivery
The information concerning the delivery conditions was
pointed out under the heading of "problems". It can be in gene-
ral said that the quality of data is between good and very
good. It is understood that very detailed studies of the Elazit*
region cnn be carried olit by the images in hand.
Conclusions
The following conclusions can be drawn from the studies
on the photomosaic maps:
a. Importnnt tectonic trends can be located,
b. Geological contacts can definitely be drawn,
c. Karstic problems of the region can be shown,
d. The fracture zones in the limestone formations can be
mapped,
e. Correlation between the copper deposit areas and
surface alteration zones can be made.

Introduction
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the various
1	 earth resources problems of Turkey using LRT&S images. The m-in
object of the studies on this region is to locate the known or
new copper deposits in the Trabzon area. The other object is
determination and classification of the dense forest cover in
the same region.
i
Techn'que
The studies have not been carried out as they should be
due to the cloud coverage and delay in the delivery of images.
In this region the studies of geology and forestry have been
attempted. The studies had been carried out using the image,
with ID number 21;'6-??$2 on fo»r hands. The North Anatolian
Fault zone hod been clearly observed on this frame i•t is shown
that the most important problem is, clouds and cloud sh.doivs
on the studies of Forestry
Conclusion
The folloviing conclusions can be dravm from the studies
on the photomosaic.
-A good tectonic map of this region can be prep;^rcd
-It is undc stood that if the ciuud ireE imngcc are
received, more detailed studies can be carried out about vege-
tation coverage and Forest classification.
