In the study, the temporal change analysis of Akkaya Reservoir in Niğde was made. The Reservoir was established in 1964. The change of reservoir between 1999, 2009 and 2019 was analyzed using remote sensing method. Satellite images used in the study belong to August (1999, 2009, 2019). MNDWI (Modified Normalized Difference Water Index) analysis was used. With the results of this analysis; the amount of water surfaces in the reservoir basin was calculated by years. After this analysis, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) analysis was used and land cover types were determined by CORINE. It has been determined that the water surface map of 2009 covers a larger area compared to other years. When only the area where the reservoir is located is evaluated by the polynomial equation (2nd degree), there may be a decrease of approximately 26% in the reservoir water surface area within 15 years. As a result of the study, it has been determined that Landsat satellite data can be used to determine the water surface amounts. If study in smaller areas will be done, use the lower resolution satellite images are suggested. In this study, MNDWI analysis was found more successful than NDVI analysis to find water surface area. Multi-band satellite images provide important qualitative information in evaluating the functions used in ecosystem-based planning studies.
