An Enhanced Water Quality Index for Water Quality Monitoring Using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning
December 2022 • Mehreen Ahmed, Rafia Mumtaz, Zahid Anwar
Water quality deterioration is a serious problem with the increase in the urbanization rate. However, water quality monitoring uses grab sampling of physico-chemical parameters and a water quality index method to assess water quality. Both processes are lengthy and expensive. These traditional indices are biased towards the physico-chemical parameters because samples are only collected from certain sampling points. These limitations make the current water quality index method unsuitable for any water body in the w…
