Abstract
In the present study, it was aimed at combining remote sensing technology, geographic information system and statistical data in order to provide a rather rapid, sensitive and comprehensive overview of current situation of Turkish river basins in terms of existing spatial data. For the aim of the study, all statistical information gathered from the national authorities on regional basis was overlapped with the geometric data of Turkish river basins using maps being established in a GIS environment. As a result of GIS studies on 26 Turkish basins, Marmara Basin served as a model sensitive region and was studied in more detail by using 2000 dated Landsat 7 ETM image.
