DescriptionIrrigation along the Shebelle River.JPG
English: This astronaut photograph illustrates a network of
irrigation canals and fields located approximately 42 kilometers to the west-northwest of the city of Gode.
Floodplain sediments and soils are dark
brown to
gray (image center), and contrast with the reddish rocks and soils on the adjacent plateau. Vegetation in the flood plain (image top center) and agricultural fields is dark
green.
Water in the Shebelle River and the irrigation canals has a bright,
mirror-like appearance due to sun-glint, or
light reflecting off the water surface back toward the
International Space Station.
Image acquired with a Nikon D2Xs digital camera using a 400 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center.
