Monitoring Water Turbidity Using Remote Sensing Techniques

2 November 2022 By Salvatore Manfreda Off

In the present work, the use of optical cameras for turbidity measurements is tested on the Bode River in Germany, which is one of the best-instrumented catchments in Central Germany with a long-term time series on water quantity and quality. Four trap cameras have been installed on monitored cross-sections with the aim to explore the potential of RGB indices for the description of water turbidity. A description of the experimental setup and some preliminary results are introduced.
