Application and Outlook of Remote Sensing Technology in Water Environment Monitoring

Abstract

Water environment monitoring is a critical tool for effective environmental protection and management. However, traditional methods often fall short in meeting the requirements of large-scale and real-time monitoring. To overcome these limitations, remote sensing technology has emerged as a non-contact, rapid, and efficient approach, playing a pivotal role in water environment monitoring. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and methodologies employed in remote sensing technology for monitoring water quality pollutants, detecting changes in water bodies, and preserving wetland ecosystems in the context of water environment monitoring. The practical application and significance of remote sensing technology are exemplified through a range of specific case studies. Moreover, the paper analyzes the existing status and challenges of domestic water environment remote sensing monitoring, while also presenting future development directions. The research and application outlined in this paper serve as a valuable reference, driving innovation and progress in water environment remote sensing monitoring in our country. Additionally, the findings of this study are of great significance in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of water environmental protection and management, as well as promoting the wider application of remote sensing technology within the environmental domain.
