Safeguarding Earth's Liquid Gold: Landsat's Water Quality Watch

Join us as we explore the vital role of Landsat in safeguarding our planet's liquid lifeline – freshwater. With only 3% of Earth's surface water being freshwater, it's essential for electricity, agriculture, and life itself. But as temperatures rise, threats like algal blooms, glacial melt, and drought endanger our aquatic ecosystems.

In the quest to protect these resources, scientists employ various ground-based methods, but for decades, the Landsat program has been our guardian from above, providing invaluable water quality data from orbit. Discover how Landsat satellites aid in monitoring water quality, ensuring the health of our precious freshwater ecosystems. 🌊🚀 #EarthMonitoring #FreshwaterGuardians#LandsatMonitoring #WaterQuality
