Open Water

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of open water bodies in 2020. Geospatially derived open water land cover refers to information about areas of land that are covered by water, such as lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. This information is obtained using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, which allows for the creation of detailed maps and spatial datasets that can provide information about the location, extent, and characteristics of open water. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage water resources, and to understand the impacts of changes in water cover on the environment and local communities.
