Papers About Monitoring of Water Quality by Using Remote Sensing

Published on by in Academic

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for technical/scientific papers on water quality monitoring by remote sensing 
(satellites)

Does anyone have any tips to help me?

Thank you all for the space for discussion and support.

Rizzo, Luiz Rafael.

  2. Luiz, I strongly suggest that you get in touch with Andrea Tao PhD (Tao Research Group) at UCSD. She is working on some fantastic detection and plug-ins for the water supply and treatment industry. The research will have flexibility to aid in the DBP issues currently gaining attention once again. All the best, Lou

  7. Luiz, what resolution are you thinking off?
    There are many different options, depending on what you are planning to do with the data.

  9. Dear  Rafael Rizzo , Good question

    Remote sensing techniques can be used to monitor water quality parameters (i.e., suspended sediments (turbidity), chlorophyll, and temperature). Optical and thermal sensors on boats, aircraft, and satellites provide both spatial and temporal information needed to monitor changes in water quality parameters for developing management practices to improve water quality. Recent and planned launches of satellites with improved spectral and spatial resolution sensors should lead to greater use of remote sensing techniques to assess and monitor water quality parameters. Integration of remotely sensed data, GPS, and GIS technologies provides a valuable tool for monitoring and assessing waterways. Remotely sensed data can be used to create a permanent geographically located database to provide a baseline for future comparisons. The integrated use of remotely sensed data, GPS, and GIS will enable consultants and natural resource managers to develop management plans for a variety of natural resource management applications.

    You should look at some indications such as "soil moisture", "slope", "DEM", "soil type", "precipitation ,and type" and so forth. If we go beyond images, you can make use of GRACE- Terrestrial water storage just in large scales.

    Because of the advantages of rapidness, wide coverage, low cost, and dynamic monitoring over a long period of time, remote sensing has been widely used for water quality monitoring in recent decades. However, monitoring inland water quality by remote sensing is far behind ocean color remote sensing in both developments of remote sensors and monitoring approaches. The development of hyperspectral remote sensing technique has brought much more new possibilities to inland water quality remote sensing.

    One of the highest priorities of the NASA Applied Sciences Program is the development and transition of tools, services, and applications that leverage Earth observations, satellite assets and the state of science to benefit society. Towards this goal, the Water Resources Application Area of the NASA Applied Sciences Program has been exploring how satellite remote sensing could contribute to water quality monitoring decisions and practices. 

    By cultivating a better understanding of water quality information needs and data gaps, Applied Sciences hopes to facilitate a mechanism for applying satellite remote sensing to help address identified gaps. Remote sensing provides water quality data with a high spatial and temporal resolution for thousands of lakes at a time.Several remote sensing programs provide historical data for studies of trends in water quality and the potential impacts of land use and land cover change on water quality. The real time availability of remote sensing data makes it possible to integrate it into early warning systems to protect the public from harmful algal blooms.Satellite retrieval of water quality data for lakes is complicated by the optically complex conditions found in lakes, potential interference from the lake bottom in shallow lakes, and dynamic changes in water quality. The remote sensing of water quality is limited to the retrieval of water clarity and the concentrations of optically active constituents. These include the concentrations of algal pigments, suspended solids, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM)

  11. Dear Luiz,

    Have a closer look to the CLAROS (The Water Intelligence System) solution from Hach; which could address your needs and requirements for remote control and ral time optimization and monitoring capability, together with data-accessibility and availably via to Cloud!?

    Best of luck and regards,
