Abstract

Many studies have been done on environmental pollution of the Reps region regarding Acid Mine Drainage, but there are no studies with the help of remote sensing which is a science of collecting data without a physical contact. In this setting, the purpose of this research work is to monitor the environmental impact of the abandoned mines in water, vegetation and non-vegetation areas by exploring Sentinel-2 data in Reps regions. The information utilized in this paper has been developed from the program of European Space Agency Copernicus. After the selection of the Reps region it has been explored the products in the Sentinel Application Platform. According to our data, the incorporation of visual optical of flora, ground covering and humidity as well as computing Spectral Angle Mapper can help us in the early identification of Acid Mine Drainage. The combination of field studies with remote sensing increase the overall efficacy in detecting pollution and protecting the environment.
