Applying the method of remote sensing image process suitable for lake evolution study, with the structure, lamination, color cast of remote sensing images, the features and differen of remote sensing image between different types of the lake evolution were discussed.Based on the lake environmental information from the technique of remote sensing, together with the manifold historical map and consequence of data, the origin and law of the lake evolution were analysed in this paper.The resoult shows that this kind of researching method is suited to the lakes in East China.
