Turbidity

The Normalized Difference Turbidity Index (NDTI) is useful for assessing water quality. By comparing the reflectance of specific wavelengths of light, typically in the visible and near-infrared spectrum, NDTI quantifies the turbidity level of water bodies. Turbidity is an indicator of suspended particles in water which may be related to pollution or sedimentation, which can impact aquatic species and ecosystems. This layer is derived from ESA Sentinel-2 going back to late 2015 with frequent captures.
