Riparian vegetation plays an essential role in providing ecosystem services and can serve as a natural solution for reducing water pollution. A survey method was developed using vegetation parameters such as integrity, functionality, and habitat quality to identify ecosystems in need of restoration along stream corridors. The Susurluk basin was chosen as the study site due to the extensive pollution caused mainly by agricultural activities. The project aimed to develop approaches and methods as a land planning tool to utilize the ecosystem's potential. This included combining modeling, field studies, laboratory analysis, and remote sensing methods. The basin was extensively characterized, and sample stream sections were determined. Surveys and samplings were conducted in stream cross-sections, which, along with laboratory analysis, produced processed parameters. Water quality was assessed using standard parameters and processed parameters grouped for ecological and irrigation water quality. Similarly, the stream corridor's functionality, integrity, landscape values, and similar features were parameterized. The variables obtained from 102 stream cross-sections were then compared to the vegetation indices obtained from the satellite images. The study revealed that field or remotely sensed measurements can effectively assist land planning and use to enhance the services of riparian ecosystems.
