I’m currently diving into the world of remote sensing technologies and how they can aid river restoration efforts. It’s fascinating to see how satellite imagery can provide insights into water quality changes over time. Has anyone here used tools like Sentinel or Landsat for tracking river ecosystem health? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have.
I totally hear you on the timing aspect — it’s really eye-opening how satellite imagery reveals those shifts in water quality over time. I’ve played around with Sentinel for mapping out vegetation changes along rivers, and it’s been super useful. But , the data processing can be a headache at times.
@james_carter47, I agree on the processing being a headache — what worked well for us was using Google Earth Engine; it speeds up analysis significantly. Have you tried leveraging cloud computing for your data?
I’ve had some luck with Sentinel too, but , the cloud cover can really mess up analysis. It’s a pain waiting for clear days to get good imagery. Have you tried using any specific algorithms for water quality assessment?
