“…However, research must continue to enable retrievals in extremely contaminated sunglint scenes during eutrophic/turbid conditions in summer periods, as demonstrated in this study (Figure 6), as well as the analysis of other biogeochemical variables, such as Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM). In addition, as shown in recent research by Wójcik-Długoborska [63], turbidity measurements in the field may differ from those taken in the laboratory and thus provide different correlations between reflectance and the true value of turbidity. Therefore, we intend to focus additional research on this aspect during the coming field campaigns.…”

During recent years, several eutrophication processes and subsequent environmental crises have occurred in Mar Menor, the largest hypersaline coastal lagoon in the Western Mediterranean Sea. In this study, the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellites are jointly used to examine the evolution of the main water quality descriptors during the latest ecological crisis in 2021, resulting in an important loss of benthic vegetation and unusual mortality events affecting different aquatic species. Several field campaigns were carried out in March, July, August, and November 2021 to measure water quality variables over 10 control points. The validation of satellite biogeochemical variables against on-site measurements indicates precise results of the water quality algorithms with median errors of 0.41 mg/m3 and 2.04 FNU for chlorophyll-a and turbidity, respectively. The satellite preprocessing scheme shows consistent performance for both satellites; therefore, using them in tandem can improve mapping strategies. The findings demonstrate the suitability of the methodology to capture the spatiotemporal distribution of turbidity and chlorophyll-a concentration at 10–30 m spatial resolution on a systematic basis and in a cost-effective way. The multitemporal products allow the identification of the main critical areas close to the mouth of the Albujon watercourse and the beginning of the eutrophication process with chlorophyll-a concentration above 3 mg/m3. These innovative tools can support decision makers in improving current monitoring strategies as early warning systems for timely assistance during these ecological disasters, thus preventing detrimental conditions in the lagoon.

“…Beyond color development by phytoplankton, there is a growing interest in utilizing satellite detection of environmental indicators through color mappings (Cael et al, 2023). This approach holds promise for correlating with inorganic nanopollutant dispersions resulting from natural processes, mining activities, or industrial wastes (Wójcik-Długoborska et al, 2022). Moreover, lab research on the absorption/fluorescence of biological and organic species in water samples further provides a useful avenue for refining fluorescence satellite detectors, enhancing their ability to detect and analyze such contaminants in water reservoirs (Garaba et al, 2023).…”

“…For instance, in the case of snow pollutants, i.e., black carbon, there is a lack of universally developed algorithms (Beltramone et al, 2021). Another emblematic issue is related to water-color applications, where most efforts are oriented towards developing models and implement algorithms based on biological causes (e.g., phytoplankton) rather than on organic/inorganic micro/nanoparticles (e.g., microplastics (Waqas et al, 2023), silicates (Wójcik-Długoborska et al, 2022) and acid drain mining residues (Isgró et al, 2022)). In these cases, nanotechnology applied to field detection and characterization can become an indispensable tool to address this gap.…”

Nowadays, we witness remarkable technological progress alongside unprecedented challenges that threaten the delicate balance of our planet’s ecological system. Environmental contamination plays a central role in this, with rapid urbanization, industrialization, mining and agricultural practices intensifying the introduction of pollutants into the environment. This article highlights the potential synergy between two fields operating at vastly different scales: satellite technology and nanotechnology. This article delves into the offerings of each of these disciplines and examines how they can mutually contribute to the detection, prevention and mitigation of environmental pollution. Satellites play a crucial role in identifying and monitoring large-scale polluted areas, offering comprehensive insights into environmental challenges. They are indispensable in tracking air, water pollution levels, assessing land degradation, and monitoring changes in ocean health with relatively high spatial and temporal resolution. Nanotechnology leverages the unique properties of materials at sub-micron scale by offering amplified chemical reactivity and new optical, electronic, and magnetic attributes, enabling selective and sensitive sensors and rapid and efficient contaminant capture/degradation strategies. Emerging nanomaterials, along with nature-inspired and self-powered or self-sustaining designs, broaden capabilities for efficient solutions. Advanced nanocharacterization techniques deepen material understanding and quantification, while nanofabrication allows precise design of functional nano-devices. We believe the synergistic relationship between both fields can yield cooperative solutions, expediting effective measures and greatly influencing policy decisions. This article advocates for the collaboration between these two disciplines to foster impactful progress in facing global challenges.

“…A high correlation (r > 0.87) was established for in situ measured optical WQPs and the parameters predicted by the optical water-type guided approach. The amount of SSC and turbidity affects the reflectance of light with the relationship between spectral reflectance and SSC or turbidity often described as a positive linear correlation or nonlinear regression in the visible and the NIR wavelengths [152,153].…”

Measurement of Total Dissolved Solids and Total Suspended Solids in Water Systems: A Review of the Issues, Conventional, and Remote Sensing Techniques

et al. 2023

This study provides a comprehensive review of the efforts utilized in the measurement of water quality parameters (WQPs) with a focus on total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS). The current method used in the measurement of TDS and TSS includes conventional field and gravimetric approaches. These methods are limited due to the associated cost and labor, and limited spatial coverages. Remote Sensing (RS) applications have, however, been used over the past few decades as an alternative to overcome these limitations. Although they also present underlying atmospheric interferences in images, radiometric and spectral resolution issues. Studies of these WQPs with RS, therefore, require the knowledge and utilization of the best mechanisms. The use of RS for retrieval of TDS, TSS, and their forms has been explored in many studies using images from airborne sensors onboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite sensors such as those onboard the Landsat, Sentinel-2, Aqua, and Terra platforms. The images and their spectral properties serve as inputs for deep learning analysis and statistical, and machine learning models. Methods used to retrieve these WQP measurements are dependent on the optical properties of the inland water bodies. While TSS is an optically active parameter, TDS is optically inactive with a low signal–noise ratio. The detection of TDS in the visible, near-infrared, and infrared bands is due to some process that (usually) co-occurs with changes in the TDS that is affecting a WQP that is optically active. This study revealed significant improvements in incorporating RS and conventional approaches in estimating WQPs. The findings reveal that improved spatiotemporal resolution has the potential to effectively detect changes in the WQPs. For effective monitoring of TDS and TSS using RS, we recommend employing atmospheric correction mechanisms to reduce image atmospheric interference, exploration of the fusion of optical and microwave bands, high-resolution hyperspectral images, utilization of ML and deep learning models, calibration and validation using observed data measured from conventional methods. Further studies could focus on the development of new technology and sensors using UAVs and satellite images to produce real-time in situ monitoring of TDS and TSS. The findings presented in this review aid in consolidating understanding and advancement of TDS and TSS measurements in a single repository thereby offering stakeholders, researchers, decision-makers, and regulatory bodies a go-to information resource to enhance their monitoring efforts and mitigation of water quality impairments.
