This Study Examined The Eco Hydrological Processes In Areas With Limited Water Supply By Quantitative Remote Sensing Techniques. The Research Findings Suggest That The Primary Emphasis Of The Study Was The Chinese Heihe River Basin. The Objective Of This Research Was To Ascertain The Efficacy Of Remote Sensing Techniques In Enhancing The Understanding Of The Biological And Hydrological Processes Within The Basin. The Main Goal Of The Study Was To Provide Insight On The Mechanisms That Cause These Interactions To Happen. The Researcher Were Able To Find Out A Lot Of Things Using Satellite Data, Such As How Many Plants Were On The Ground, How Much Water Was Draining From The Soil, How Much Moisture Was In The Soil, And The Temperature Of The Land Surface. The Experiments Were Done Using Quantitative Instruments And A Simple Random Sample Method. The Researcher Did A Detailed Investigation Of These Factors To Find Out How Changes In Geography And Time Affect Eco Hydrological Conditions. This Was Done To Find Out Where The Changes Came From. The Heihe River Basin Was Chosen As A Case Study To Look At What Happens When There Isn't Enough Water. People Think This Basin Is One Of The Biggest Inland River Basins In China's Parched Northwest. Using Remote Sensing, The Researcher Observed Eco Hydrological Stresses Such A Reduction In The Quantity Of Water That Is Available And Changes In How Plants Grow And Die. This Was Achievable Because To Remote Sensing. Researchers Found That These Factors Were Linked To Changes In Land Use And Climate That Were Caused By People. The Findings Demonstrate That The Distribution Of Water Over The Upper, Middle, And Lower Sections Of The Basin Significantly Influenced The System's Operation. The Growth Had A Big Effect On The Ecosystem As A Whole. The Quantitative Analysis Revealed That The Vegetation Index And Soil Moisture Levels Decreased In Areas Situated Farther Downstream.
