This paper presents findings of field and remote sensing surveys
covering the Usambara and the Pangani flood plain in Tanzania as
well as Mount Kenya highlands and Laikipia flood plain in Kenya.
The aim was to identify, map out and document small wetlands,
and differentiate them in terms of their spatial distribution, size,
density and land use and land cover patterns. We hypothesized that
small wetlands can be detected and mapped using multi-spatial
and multi-spectral resolution data sets.
