This study examines the Saman Bird Sanctuary and Keetham Lake, both Ramsar sites, using advanced remote sensing for water occurrence, land use and land cover (LULC), and water quality assessments. Sentinel data, processed in cloud computing, enabled land\u2010use classification, water boundary delineation, and seasonal water occurrence mapping. A combination of Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), OTSU threshold segmentation, and Canny edge detection provided precise seasonal water boundaries. Study utilized a combination of the MNDWI, OTSU threshold segmentation, and Canny edge detection methods. These approaches allowed for precise delineation of seasonal water boundaries. Sixteen water quality parameters including pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total hardness (TH), total alkalinity (TA), total dissolved solid (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), phosphates (PO<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>), nitrate (NO<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>), chloride (Cl<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>), fluoride (F<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>), carbon dioxide (CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), silica (Si), iodine (I<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>), and chromium (Cr<jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>) were analyzed and compared for both sites. Results showed significant LULC changes, particularly at Saman, with scrub forest, built\u2010up areas, and agriculture increasing, while flooded vegetation and open water declined. Significant LULC changes were observed near Marsh wetland, where positive changes up to 42.17% were seen for built\u2010up in surrounding regions, with an increase to 5.43\u2009ha in 2021 from 3.14\u2009ha in 2017. Positive change was observed for scrub forests up to 21.02%, with a rise of 2.18\u2009ha. Vegetation in the marsh region, including seasonal grasses and hydrophytes, has shown an increase in extent up to 0.39\u2009ha with a rise of 7.12%. Spatiotemporal water occurrence was analyzed across pre\u2010monsoon, monsoon, and post\u2010monsoon seasons using Sentinel\u20101 data. The study highlights the role of remote sensing and field\u2010based water quality monitoring in understanding ecological shifts and anthropogenic pressures on wetlands. By integrating land\u2010use changes and water quality analysis, this research provides critical information for planning and conservation efforts. It provides vital insights for conservation planning, advocating for continued monitoring and adaptive management to sustain these critical ecosystems.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Practitioner Points<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Spatiotemporal surface water occurrence at two geographically different wetlands\u2014lake and marsh wetland;<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>LULC and its change analysis to evaluate the impact on wetlands and its surrounding environment\u2014positive and negative changes;<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Boundary delineation to examine changes and identify low\u2010lying areas during the pre\u2010 and post\u2010monsoon;<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Comparative analysis of the water quality of two different wetlands;<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Insectivorous plant\u2014<jats:italic>Utricularia stellaris<\/jats:italic>, was recorded from Northern India at the Saman Bird Sanctuary for the first time.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<\/jats:list><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wer.70072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,6]],"date-time":"2025-05-06T06:06:12Z","timestamp":1746511572000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Spatiotemporal dynamics of Ramsar wetlands and freshwater resources: Technological innovations for ecosystem conservation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Smrutisikha","family":"Mohanty","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, School of Natural Sciences Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence (Deemed to be University)  Greater Noida India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0049-1415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prem Chandra","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Sciences, School of Natural Sciences Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence (Deemed to be University)  Greater Noida India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","article-title":"Seasonal variations in physico\u2010chemical characteristics of Rudrasagar wetland\u2014A Ramsar site, Tripura, north east, India","volume":"2231","author":"Abir S.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Research Journal of Chemical Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"62","article-title":"Analysis of surface water quality of Lake Ana Sagar","volume":"10","author":"Ajmera G.","year":"2022","journal-title":"International Journal of Research in Engineering and Science (IJRES) ISSN"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/d13060268"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2022.e11243"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rsase.2023.100947"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"75","volume-title":"The landslide handbook\u2010a guide to understanding landslides: A landmark publication for landslide education and preparedness","author":"Bobrowsky P.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-323-90567-1.00008-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TPAMI.1986.4767851"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"13","article-title":"2.
