Water Quality Monitoring Using Remote Sensing

Author’s: Vidyut Pathak, Dr. K. R Ramani

 

Abstract:Water quality monitoring is essential for assessing the health and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems and ensuring safe drinking water sources. Traditional methods of water quality monitoring can be time-consuming and expensive. Remote sensing technologies have emerged as valuable tools for efficiently and effectively assessing water quality parameters over large spatial scales. This paper provides an overview of remote sensing techniques for water quality monitoring, including the principles, sensors, data processing methods, and case studies. Additionally, it presents key water quality parameters and their significance, with tables summarizing remote sensing applications for each parameter.

 

Keywords- Water quality monitoring, remote sensing, water quality parameters, spectral reflectance, radiative transfer models, atmospheric correction, sensors, platforms, data processing, data analysis, challenges, future directions.
