Abstract

1-Introduction Considering the importance of rivers as part of freshwater resources and their role in meeting the needs of agriculture, industry, urban populations, etc., monitoring and predicting the quality of these water resources is essential. These water sources are affected by numerous factors due to their different geological and environmental conditions and their qualitative status also undergoes dramatic changes. However, the quality monitoring of these abundant water resources on the planet's surface is not feasible and requires the use of advanced and powerful tools (Bagherian Marzouni et al., 2014). Due to its capabilities, satellite remote sensing can be used as one of these tools in monitoring Water Quality and will accurately detect the spatial and temporal changes of these water sources (Bonansea et al., 2015). So far, in many studies, the capabilities of remote sensing satellites to estimate surface Water Quality parameters has been evaluated, and in most of them, acceptable results have been obtained indicating the ability of this technology in the issue as mentioned above. Among these studies, we can mention laili et al. (2015), in which in a small section of Indonesian waters, have figured out a new regression algorithm between Landsat 8 and groundWater Quality parameters. Toming et al. (2016) in a study using satellite images of Sentinel-2 on the Water Quality of the lakes in Estonia, could find a good correlation between the satellite band proportions and ground. The purpose of this research is to establish a relation between satellite images of Sentinel-2 A and two quality water parameters with a suitable model along the Karun and Dez River. For this purpose, firstly suitable spectral indices were extracted from them by applying the necessary processing on satellite images. In the next step, optimal relationships between extracted indices and Water Quality parameters are established using different models. Finally, using models with higher accuracy in terms of modeling, the dispersion map of each parameter in the length of the Karun River is provided. The purpose of this research is to establish a relation between satellite images of Sentinel-2 A and 2 quality water parameters with a suitable model along the Karun and Dez River. For this purpose, firstly suitable spectral indices were extracted from them by applying the necessary processing on satellite images. In the next step, optimal relationships between extracted indices and Water Quality parameters are established using different models. Finally, using models with higher accuracy in terms of modeling, the dispersion map of each parameter in the length of the Karun River is provided. 2-Methodology This study presented in eight steps as below: Step 1: Preparation of ground data and satellite imagery: The ground data used in this study is the measured data at the Water Quality sampling stations. The data included information on these quality parameters that were used from 2015 to early 2017 in ten stations. Step 2: Recording the value of the reflection bands at the ground measurement stations: In order to implement this research, satellite images of Sentinel-2 and groundWater Quality parameters were collected and measured at the same time from the study area. In this step, the values of measured Water Quality parameters were also sorted by date and sampling stations were prepared in separate files. Step 3: Analyze the initial sensitivity and determine the bands that have a stronger connection with each Water Quality parameter Table 1: result of sensitivity analysis for Sentinel-2 bands TDS Turbidity EC pH Hco3 So4 Cl Na K Mg Ca Parameter Type Band Number 0. 376 0. 472 0. 296 0. 384 0. 493 0. 219 0. 338 0. 279 0. 312 0. 217 0. 294 B2 0. 379 0. 303 0. 325 0. 307 0. 238 0. 239 0. 268 0. 238 0. 179 0. 291 0. 217 B3 0. 352 0. 237 0. 283 0. 278 0. 260 0. 232 0. 225 0. 269 0. 165 0. 196 0. 269 B4 0. 346 0. 332 0. 274 0. 428 0. 315 0. 214 0. 256 0. 294 0. 256 0. 275 0. 313 B5 0. 401 0. 208 0. 248 0. 322 0. 294 0. 278 0. 253 0. 249 0. 210 0. 268 0. 239 B6 0. 403 0. 257 0. 227 0. 299 0. 273 0. 281 0. 258 0. 256 0. 203 0. 283 0. 210 B7 0. 263 0. 285 0. 301 0. 346 0. 198 0. 245 0. 231 0. 227 0. 184 0. 209 0. 224 B8 0. 422 0. 306 0. 316 0. 309 0. 241 0. 275 0. 251 0. 244 0. 195 0. 299 0. 212 B8a 0. 249 0. 205 0. 267 0. 325 0. 238 0. 273 0. 233 0. 287 0. 205 0. 209 0. 158 B11 0. 391 0. 265 0. 214 0. 310 0. 282 0. 293 0. 254 0. 247 0. 270 0. 244 0. 178 B12 Step 4: Calculating spectral indices and selecting spectral indicators with higher correlation Step 5: Secondary Sensitivity Analysis and Selection of Spectral Indicators with Stronger Connections In the next step, by applying the sensitivity analysis method, the relationship between each spectral indicator and Water Quality parameters was calculated (Table 2).
