Traditional methods for measuring water quality are always time-consuming and expensive; furthermore, it can be very difficult capture the full spatiotemporal variations across regions. Many studies have shown the possibility of remote-sensing-based water monitoring work in many areas, especially for water quality monitoring. However, the use of optical remotely sensed imagery depends on several factors, including weather, quality of images and the size of water bodies. Hence, in this study, the feasibility of optical remote sensing for water quality monitoring in the Republic of Ireland was investigated. To assess the value of remote sensing for water quality monitoring, it is critical to know how well water bodies and the existing in situ monitoring stations are mapped. In this study, two satellite platforms (Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat-8 OLI) and four indices for separating water and land pixel (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index\u2014NDVI; Normalized Difference Water Index\u2014NDWI; Modified Normalized Difference Water Index\u2014MNDWI; and Automated Water Extraction Index\u2014AWEI) have been used to create water masks for two scenarios. In the first scenario (Scenario 1), we included all pixels classified as water, while for the second scenario (Scenario 2) accounts for potential land contamination and only used water pixels that were completed surround by other water pixels. The water masks for the different scenarios and combinations of platforms and indices were then compared with the existing water quality monitoring station and to the shapefile of the river network, lakes and coastal and transitional water bodies. We found that both platforms had potential for water quality monitoring in the Republic of Ireland, with Sentinel-2 outperforming Landsat due to its finer spatial resolution. Overall, Sentinel-2 was able to map ~25% of the existing monitoring station, while Landsat-8 could only map ~21%. These percentages were heavily impacted by the large number of river monitoring stations that were difficult to map with either satellite due to their location on smaller rivers. Our results showed the importance of testing several indices. No index performed the best across the different platforms. AWEInsh (Automated Water Extraction Index\u2014no shadow) and Sentinel-2 outperformed all other combinations and was able to map over 80% of the area of all non-river water bodies across the Republic of Ireland. While MNDWI was the best index for Landsat-8, it was the worst performer for Sentinel-2. This study showed that optical remote sensing has potential for water monitoring in the Republic of Ireland, especially for larger rivers, lakes and transitional and coastal water bodies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15143677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,24]],"date-time":"2023-07-24T01:12:28Z","timestamp":1690161148000},"page":"3677","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mapping Irish Water Bodies: Comparison of Platforms, Indices and Water Body Type"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Minyan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dooge Centre for Water Resources Research, School of Civil Engineering, University College Dublin, D04 V1W8 Dublin, Ireland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9435-8278","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fiachra","family":"O\u2019Loughlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dooge Centre for Water Resources Research, School of Civil Engineering, University College Dublin, D04 V1W8 Dublin, Ireland"},{"name":"UCD Earth Institute, University College Dublin, D04 V1W8 Dublin, Ireland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5073","DOI":"10.1021\/cr300133d","article-title":"New Generation Adsorbents for Water Treatment","volume":"112","author":"Ali","year":"2012","journal-title":"Chem.
