The aim of this study is to determine the distribution of Chla in Eymir Lake using remotely sensed data and in-situ data. The study was carried out in three phases / the first phase was taking ground real data from the lake for a 6-month period, secondly the remotely sensed satellite image was taken and analyzed, thirdly a correlation was obtained between the ground data and satellite image, and lastly mapping of the Chla in the lake was made. During the study also the change of the lake during the 6-month period was monitored. The results showed a great variation in the concentration of Chla in the period measured from spring till early fall, from very low almost undetectable concentrations to noticeably very high values especially during summer. The secchi disc depth values ranged from about 3 meters in early spring, to as low as 15 centimeters in late summer / this made it very much related to Chla values. Chla concentrations had a high relationship with the following parameters: DO, TSS, Depth and secchi disc. As for the remotely sensed data also an acceptable level of correlation was obtained between them and Chla data both from laboratory results and in-situ probe.
