Article Synopsis
- Remote sensing using UAVs and satellites offers a promising method to measure Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters by correlating it with Colored Dissolved Organic Matter absorption (aCDOM) coefficients.
- The study focused on utilizing a UAV-borne hyperspectral camera and data from Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 MSI to create accurate reflectance-based models for quantifying DOC.
- Results demonstrated strong relationships between measured and estimated DOC, with high Nash-criterion values (up to 0.92) and low Root Mean Squares Error, although estimates were affected by environmental factors like haze and sun glint.
Riparian strips are used worldwide to protect riverbanks and water quality in agricultural zones because of their numerous environmental benefits. A metric called Riparian Strip Quality Index, which is based on the percentage area of riparian vegetation, is used to evaluate their ecological condition. This index measures the potential capacity of riparian strips to filter sediments, retain pollutants, and provide shelter for terrestrial and aquatic species.
