Mapping and Assessing Glacial Lakes in Pakistan: Risk Insights from NDWI
Fusion Journal of Engineering and SciencesWater is essential for life, but it also brings serious risks, especially through water-related disasters. Over the past two decades, about 74% of natural disasters have been water-related, affecting millions worldwide. Glaciers are vital sources of freshwater for drinking, farming, industry, and hydropower.

Quantifying Water Bodies with Sentinel-2 Imagery and NDWI: A Remote Sensing Approach
E3S Web of ConferencesThis paper presents a comparative analysis of surface water dynamics using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) obtained through the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The study focuses on assessing changes in surface water area and water ratio in the area between the winter and summer seasons of 2017 and 2023.

SAR-NDWI Integration in Ephemeral Water Detection Mapping for Hydrological Analysis in ASALs
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesAbstract. Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) like Marsabit and Isiolo Counties in Kenya face significant water scarcity, necessitating accurate mapping of surface water resources. Even with mostly dry and arid conditions in these regions, the areas also experience flash floods and downpours that quickly flow through wadis and rivers flowing away from ...

Sensitivity of the land surface temperature and NDWI index to soil moisture on wheat and barley
Abstract The spatial monitoring of crop water status is crucial for agricultural purposes. The aim of this study was to analyze the sensitivity and response times of land surface temperature (LST) and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to changes in soil moisture (VWC) in barley and wheat crops at plot scale in southeastern Argentine ...

Monitoring of the 2003 summer drought in Belgium with the NDWI applied on spot-vegetation data.
, 2005 The summer 2003 was abnormally hot, sunny and dry. The average temperatures from June to August were the highest ever recorded in the Belgian reference meteorological station of Uccle, but also in other countries of western and central Europe such as Portugal, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
