Abstract: Solakli Basin is located Eastern Black Sea region where high mountain ranges run parallel to the coast in the north. Such a mountainous terrain, it is generally hard or impossible to reach to acquire data by terrestrial measurement. However, today, by using integration of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems even those kinds of basins can be modelled. These techniques provide to derive basin, land use and/or soil type characteristics in an accurate and quick way, particularly for water resources assessment studies. In addition to basin characteristics, spatial distribution of precipitation is also important for these types of studies. In this study, for the classification of Solakli Basin IRS P6 multispectral satellite data with 5.8 m spatial resolution are used and to derive the Digital Elevation Model IRS P5 stereo satellite data with 2.5 m spatial resolution is used. The basin characteristics are mathematically determined. Isohyetal maps to unders!
tand precipitation distribution are generated by means of different geostatistical methods such as Inverse Distance Weight, Radial Basis Function and Kriging. Among these methods, Kriging and Radial Basis Function give more satisfactory results.
