“…Thus, a combination of MNDWI and NDVI can be used that assess not only the open water flooding but also the productivity response to flooding, according to the vegetation response. This combination of indices has been already used by several authors for monitoring flooding areas (Azedou et al, 2022;Mehmood et al, 2021;Solana et al, 2021b, among others). However, most of these studies focused on the detection of open water surfaces and disregarded the FV class, which can lead to an underestimation of the extent of inundation.…”
