dc.description.abstractLand surface modification has intensified in recent years, and it continues to be an ongoing process. This raises serious concerns about changes in land use and land cover (LULC) since some of these changes have led to catchment degradation. The degradation of catchments has been observed to have adverse effects on natural resources, such as water bodies, resulting in food insecurity, water scarcity, and the degradation of ecosystems and the environment. Therefore, to effectively sustain life and the environment, it is crucial to monitor LULC changes for sustainable development and planning that can help alleviate pressures on water resources. This study aims to assess the impacts of LULC changes on the morphology dynamics and area changes of water resources in the Heuningnes catchment in South Africa. The findings from this assessment can offer valuable insights for water resource conservation in this catchment. Remote sensing and GIS techniques were employed to map and detect LULC changes, morphology dynamics, and area changes of water resources from 1990 to 2020.en_US
