The main difficulties of this task so far have been the limitations of conventional approaches, which are generally costly (e.g., equipment, time- and human resource-demanding) and have poor flexibility to deal with all river conditions. Currently, alternative approaches rely on remote sensing techniques, which offer innovative tools for mapping water bodies in a quick and cost-effective manner based on relevant spectral indices. This study aimed to compare the capability of using imagery from the Sentinel-2 and newly launched Landsat 9 satellite to achieve this goal. For a segment of the Lower Tagus River (Portugal) with conditions of very low river discharge, comparison of the Normalized Difference Water Index, Modified Normalized Difference Water Index, Augmented Normalized Difference Water Index, and Automated Water Extraction Index calculated from the imagery of the two satellites shows that the two satellites\u2019 datasets and mapping were consistent and therefore could be used complementarily. However, the results highlighted the need to classify satellite imagery based on index-specific classification decision values, which is an important factor in the quality of the information extracted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15071927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,4]],"date-time":"2023-04-04T01:35:59Z","timestamp":1680572159000},"page":"1927","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Comparing the Capability of Sentinel-2 and Landsat 9 Imagery for Mapping Water and Sandbars in the River Bed of the Lower Tagus River (Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Romeu","family":"Gerardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra, Rua Lu\u00eds Reis Santos, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"CERIS, University of Coimbra, Rua Pedro Hispano s\/n, 3030-289 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Itecons\u2014Institute of Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability, Rua Pedro Hispano, 3030-289 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5134-4175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel P.","family":"de Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra, Rua Lu\u00eds Reis Santos, 3030-788 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"MARE\u2014Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre\/ARNET\u2013Aquatic Research Network, Pole MARE\u2013UCoimbra, Polo II University of Coimbra, Rua S\u00edlvio Lima, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.14712\/23361980.2014.21","article-title":"Flow and sediment size variability Naer gravel bars in the Beskidy mountains in the polish Carpathians","volume":"49","year":"2014","journal-title":"AUC Geographica"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Church, M.A., and Jones, D.
