Abstract
This study investigates the accuracy of various DEMs (SRTM DEM, ASTER GDEM, and ALOS PALSAR DEM) for the area of the designing Pskom water reservoir (recommended to construction in Pskom River, in Tashkent region. DEMs are compared for the study area using the Global Mapper application and selection Ground Control Points (GCP). The RMSE we calculate is the most easily interpreted statistic as the square root of the mean square error because it has the same units as the quantity drawn on the vertical axis. Results show that SRTM based measurements of ground control points (GCPs) exhibit RMSE of 15.72 m while ASTER DEM based measurements exhibits and RMSE of 18.47 m, ALOS PALSAR exhibit RMSE of 14.02 m for the Water reservoir located in the plain. There are AOS PALSAR outperforms SRTM and ASTER DEM in detecting vertical accuracy. Based on the capabilities of the Global Mapper program, we can build the longitudinal profile of the approximate location where the dam can be built in each DEM and compare. The results obtained show that the dam height is 187 m at ALOS PALSAR DEM, 168 m at ASTER GDEM, and 175 m at SRTM. The study found that using ALOS PALSAR data in the design of the proposed Pskom Reservoir for construction leads to a more accurate result. Comparing the DEMs data shows that there is more difference between the vertical accuracy; the horizontal accuracy level is almost the same. The results were obtained using ALOS PALSAR data in determining the storage volume (W=479368568 m3) and area (F=8.31 sq., km) of the water reservoir.
Highlights
Reservoirs - created by damming rivers throughout their history have played an important role in societies around the world, regulating floods, generating hydroelectricity, and redistributing river runoff for irrigation, usually where natural precipitation is volatile or seasonal as they store water during wet periods to make it available during dry periods[1,2,3].Uzbekistan is a mostly arid region, where evaporation exceeds precipitation and annual precipitation is lower
This study investigates the accuracy of various digital elevation model (DEM) (SRTM DEM, ASTER GDEM, and Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) DEM) for the area of the designing Pskom water reservoir
The overall purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, ASTER DEM ALOS PALSAR data downloaded by free open-search websites for the area of the designing Pskom water reservoir
Summary
Reservoirs - created by damming rivers throughout their history have played an important role in societies around the world, regulating floods, generating hydroelectricity, and redistributing river runoff for irrigation, usually where natural precipitation is volatile or seasonal as they store water during wet periods to make it available during dry periods[1,2,3].Uzbekistan is a mostly arid region, where evaporation exceeds precipitation and annual precipitation is lower. There are 59 reservoirs in Uzbekistan, of which are located in the floodplains of rivers and are a channel, and are bulk reservoirs[4,5,6]
