Summary: | Oil spill has become critical in some countries, especially for countries that have seas or oceans like Iraq, Malaysia and others. The situation is caused damage the environment and polluted the water. To reduce environment damage and protect life in water, plants and soil near to disaster area .Study and analysis should be carried out. The causes and factors that lead to the disaster of oil spill should be studied or investigated. Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing can be used to analyze this problem. The aim of the study is to apply Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing techniques to determine location and to map oil spill area using Radarsat data. |
