WQSat database: Development of models for Satellite-based water quality maps

One of the goals of environmental management and sustainable development is to secure adequate water quality in rivers and lakes. Many researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders have been trying to contribute to this goal effectively. Gathering water quality data is vital to understand changes in rivers and lakes better. Two major approaches for water quality monitoring are obtaining field data and using satellite images. We aim to build predictive algorithms and create satellite-based water quality model by matching field and satellite observations for lakes in Manitoba, Canada. This product will provide useful, reliable, and accurate information. Also, it allows stakeholders to visualize, monitor, and assess the changes in water quality that happen in any inland water bodies such as Lake Winnipeg.
