Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lakes are of vital importance due to providing multiple socioeconomic and ecosystem services, including drinking water, irrigation and generating tourism to the fast-growing human world population. The strong relationships between optically active constituents and remote sensing signals provide a possibility to capture optical parameter information through a remote sensing approach. In this Special Issue of Applied Sciences regarding inland water quality estimation based on optical satellites, we welcome articles centered around the model development and/or application of remote sensing approaches to understand water quality patterns, trends and reasons behind drivers.
