Este artigo teve como objetivo principal propor três novos Índices da Diferença Normalizada de Água e compará-los aos índices existentes, para delimitar e mapear corpos d’água utilizando imagens do satélite Landsat 8. A área de estudo escolhida foi um braço do reservatório da usina hidrelétrica de Itaipu. Foram utilizadas quatro imagens do satélite Landsat 8 do ano de 2015, sobre as quais índices já conhecidos na literatura foram calculados. Em função do Landsat 8 possuir uma nova banda chamada Coastal/Aerosol projetada especificamente para os recursos hídricos e investigação da zona costeira, foram propostos três novos índices utilizando esta nova banda e as bandas do infravermelho, sendo calculados e comparados. Os resultados mostraram que todos os oito índices foram capazes de identificar o corpo d’água referente ao braço do reservatório, sendo que entre os três novos índices propostos que utilizam a banda Coastal/Aerosol, o que obteve melhor resultado foi o CAMIR, que usa juntamente a banda do infravermelho médio. Esta técnica torna-se uma ferramenta importante para os gestores de bacias hidrográficas pois permite monitorar os recursos hídricos sob a ótica da dinâmica espacial e temporal de maneira automática, com aplicações claras para monitoramento de sedimentos, algas e plantas aquáticas bem como o mapeamento de áreas inundáveis e de risco à inundação.    A B S T R A C T This article aimed to propose three new water indexes to detect and map water bodies and compare these indexes to already known indexes using images from Landsat 8. The study area was a part of the Itaipu reservoir. There were used four Landsat 8's images from 2015 on which indexes were calculated. Landsat 8 has a new band called Coastal/Aerosol and designed specifically for water resources and coastal zone research. Three new indices using this new band and infrared bands were proposed, calculated and compared with other indexes. The results showed that all eight indexes studied were able to identify the water body. About the three proposed new indexes the best was the CAMIR that uses the Coastal/Aerosol and the Middle Infrared band. These techniques becomes an important tool for manager watersheds because they allow monitoring the water resources from the perspective of spatial and temporal dynamics automatically, with clear applications for monitoring sediments, algae and aquatic plants as well as the flood risk areas.

A gestão de recursos hídricos é urgente e permite atender às demandas econômicas, sociais e ambientais. Entretanto, muitas vezes, surgem conflitos em relação ao seu uso. A água é um bem de uso comum do povo, portanto, ela é de domínio público, mas para que ocorra um consumo em níveis sustentáveis é necessário obter autorização, quando se trata de intervenção em um corpo hídrico, relativa à quantidade, qualidade ou regime das águas, essa autorização é denominada de Outorga de Direito de Uso de Recursos Hídricos. Na piscicultura a outorga tem papel fundamental, pois ela regularizará a prática do cultivo de peixes e contribuirá para evitar que corpos hídricos sejam contaminados com o descarte irregular dos resíduos do cultivo.Palavras-chave: Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, Usos múltiplos, Economia da água.Abstract The management of water resources is urgent and allows to meet the economic, social and environmental demands. However, conflicts often arise concerning its use. Water is a common good; therefore it is in the public domain, but for consumption to occur at sustainable levels it is necessary to obtain authorization when it comes to intervention in a water body, concerning the quantity, quality or regime of water, this authorisation is called Granting of Right to Use Water Resources. In fish farming, the grant has a fundamental role since it will regularise the practice of fish farming and will help prevent water bodies from being contaminated with the irregular disposal of crop residues.Keywords: National Water Resources Policy, Multiple uses, Water economy.

A computer program based on expert system software was developed and proposed as a prototype model for water management to control eutrophication problems in receiving water bodies (Suzuki etal., 1988). The system has several expert functions: 1. data input and estimation of pollution load generated and discharged in the river watershed; 2. estimation of pollution load run-off entering rivers; 3. estimation of water quality of receiving water bodies, such as lakes; and 4. assisting man-machine dialog operation. The program can be used with MS-DOS BASIC and assembler in a 16 bit personal computer. Five spread sheets are utilized in calculation and summation of the pollutant load, using multi-windows. Partial differential equations for an ecological model for simulation of self-purification in shallow rivers and simulation of seasonal variations of water quality in a lake were converted to computer programs and included in the expert system. The simulated results of water quality are shown on the monitor graphically. In this study, the expert system thus developed was used to estimate the present state of one typical polluted river basin. The river was the Katsura, which flows into Lake Sagami, a lake dammed for water supply. Data which had been actually measured were compared with the simulated water quality data, and good agreement was found. This type of expert system is expected to be useful for water management of a closed water body.

The main aim of this study is to apply geographic information system (GIS) and data mining techniques to get the attribute data in a spatial and tabular form related to district wise availability of standing water bodies in their area and number of Bihar state. An analysis has been done on available spatial data and maps to get non-spatial/ tabular data, which are in a more easily understandable form. Data extracted district-wise related to area and number of standing water bodies according to their size of Bihar state. Study shows that the number and area of standing water bodies in Madhubani, East Champaran and Patna districts are 2185, 1753, 350 and 2355.42, 6752.36 and 8429.68 ham respectively. In this way, number and area of standing water bodies of other districts of Bihar are also extracted from geodatabases and digitized maps. This type of information is more useful than the spatial data because a common person is able to understand these tabular data and they can use this data for their own purposes. These data can be utilized by scientific personnel as well as farmers and that will be used in agriculture for better utilization of water resources to enhance agricultural productivity and income of farmers of Bihar state.

Inland surface water is essential to terrestrial ecosystems and human civilization. Accurate mapping of surface water dynamic is vital for both scientific research and policy-driven applications. MODIS provides twice observation per day, making it perfect for monitoring temporal water dynamic. Although MODIS provides two bands at 250 m resolution, accurately deriving water area always depends on observations from the spectral bands with 500 m resolution, which limits its discrimination ability over small lakes and rivers. The paper presents an automated method for downscaling the 500 m MODIS surface reflectance (SR) to 250 m to improve the spatial discrimination of water body extraction. The method has been tested at Co Ngoin and Co Bangkog in Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The downscaled SR and the derived water bodies were compared to SR and water body mapped from Landsat-7 ETM+ images were acquired on the same date. Consistency metrics were calculated to measure their agreement and disagreement. The comparisons indicated that the downscaled MODIS SR showed significant improvement over the original 500 m observations when compared with Landsat-7 ETM+ SR, and both commission and omission errors were reduced in the derived 250 m water bodies.

Abstract. Surface water system is an important part of global ecosystem, and the changes in surface water may lead to disasters, such as drought, waterlog, and water-borne diseases. The rapid development of remote sensing technology has supplied better strategies for water bodies extraction and further monitoring. In this study, AdaBoost and Random Forest (RF), two typical algorithms in integrated learning, were applied to extract water bodies in Chaozhou area (mainly located in Guangzhou Province, China) based on GF-1 data, and the Decision Tree (DT) was used for comparative tests to comprehensively evaluate the performance of classification algorithms listed above for surface water body extraction. The results showed that: (1) Compared with visual interpretation, AdaBoost performed better than RF in the extraction of several typical water bodies, such as rivers, lakes and ponds Moreover, the water extraction results of the strong classifiers using AdaBoost or RF were better than the weak basic classifiers. (2) For the quantitative accuracy statistics, the overall accuracy (96.5%) and kappa coefficient (93%) using AdaBoost exceeded those using RF (5.3% and 10.6%), respectively. The classification time of AdaBoost increased by 403 seconds and 918 seconds relative to RF and DT methods. However, in terms of visual interpretation, quantitative statistical accuracy and classification time, AdaBoost algorithm was more suitable for the water body extraction. (3) For the sample proportion comparison experiment of AdaBoost, four sampling proportions (0.1%, 0.2%, 1% and 2%) were chosen and 0.1% sampling proportion reached the optimum classification accuracy (93.9%) and kappa coefficient (87.8%).
