Abstract

The formation of new deltaic landscape at the places where rivers flowing into the large reservoir is considered as an important and major scientific and economic problem. This process is estimated to be universal having a global character. New landscapes, which are formed by delta type, are vary considerably depending on climatic conditions. So here the processes of deltas formation in the temperate climate of Ukraine and in arid and semiarid climate of Central Asia are discussed in more detail. Schematic observations are made in other regions of the world as well. Problem analysis was carried out using remote sensing data (Landsat satellite imagery) and ground-based observations. Using satellite images made it possible to trace the process in time and space over a long period. Deciphering of satellite images with the help of specialized software gave a possibility to determine the area of the newly formed landscapes and approximately to diagnose soil and vegetation objects that were specified by ground monitoring in the reservoirs.
