Use of multi-source remotely sensed data in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics along non-perennial rivers in semi-arid environments, South Africa

Abstract: This study explored the use of multi-source remotely sensed data in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics in two distinct semi-arid sites in South Africa. The factors that control the pool dynamics were also examined. Three water extraction indices were used, these included Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified NDWI and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index. In addition, random forest classifier and Sentinel-1 SAR data were used in mapping pools and pools dynamics for bot… Show more

“…However, the study site received rainfall amounting to 112 mm/year in 2018, 91 mm/year in 2019, and 182 mm/year in 2020. There is no distinct wet/dry seasons (Maswanganye et al, 2022). According to Petersen et al (2017), the catchment has a Mean Annual Runoff (MAR) of 16.32 Mm 3 /year or 2.5 mm/year.…”

“…For some of the NPRs, when flows cease water occurs in pools along these rivers. These pools are of importance for aquatic life as refugia and surrounding communities as a source of water for livestock, garden watering and domestic use (Maswanganye et al, 2022). Pools occurring along NPRs have been recognised for their ecological importance (Ilhéu et al, 2020;Marshall et al, 2016;Sheldon et al, 2010).…”
