Une composition colorée particulièrement efficace en télédétection est la composition dite «infrarouge fausses couleurs». Elle associe les bandes proche infrarouge, rouge et verte du capteur aux couleurs rouge verte et bleue de l'écran. Cette composition est très efficace pour analyser la végétation, et elle présente l'avantage pour l'interprète d’avoir pratiquement les mêmes propriétés que les photographies infrarouges en couleur utilisées depuis longtemps par les photo-interprètes. Elle exploite la particularité du spectre réfléchi par les végétaux, qui présente un «pic» important dans le proche infrarouge. Sur une image en «fausses couleurs infrarouge», la végétation qui a une forte activité photosynthétique apparaît en rouge vif(pic de l'infrarouge proche), l'eau apparaît pratiquement en noir(ce matériau absorbe pratiquement toutes les longueurs d’onde) et les surfaces minérales(sol nu, béton), apparaissent dans des tons de bleu à blanc. 3, record 2, French, - infrarouge%20fausses%20couleurs

Excavations for the cut-off trench began on June 1, and were completed by the end of the month. Suitable material excavated from the trench was placed in the embankment. Following excavation of the trench, the cut-off wall footing was cut into bedrock to a depth of three feet. Placement of the cut-off wall followed excavation of the footing and was completed by the end of july. The cut-off wall extends across the bottom of the trench and up both abutments and provides a water-tight seal between the dam and foundation. 2, record 7, English, - cutoff%20trench
