Water Quality Studies in Urban Lakes Using Sentinel 2A Data

Water is the second most significant requirement for life after the air. The most well-known meaning of water quality is the physical, chemical, and biological parameters of water. The Lakes are a significant part of the urban environment. However, generally little in size, lakes perform huge ecological, social, and financial capabilities, going from being a source of drinking water, recharging groundwater, going about as wipes to control flooding, supporting biodiversity, and giving livelihoods.This work was undertaken as a water quality study in urban lakes project to investigate the use of remote sensing in water quality studies. The lakes of the study were chosen based on analyzing the weightage ranking method. Among them, the polluted lakes were considered for the study. Different band indexing and linear regression models are developed with in-situ data to get the best suitable models to estimate water quality. The main objective of the study is to estimate the water quality parameters using satellite images and lab analysis. These parameters can indicate the water quality of lakes and show the distribution of pollutants.
