ABSTRACT
In recent decades lake water resources are get deteriorating and declining due to an increase in urbanization and the high effects of anthropogenic activities. Lake is an important ecological asset to the earth system. It is necessary to monitor water resources. Due to the spread of the covid-19 pandemic virus, the global range shutdown was implemented so that all the activities come to hold resulting in recovering nature and its environment from pollution. The on-site monitoring and evaluation of the quality of water resources in the pandemic period are impossible. The satellite remote sensing techniques have been used for the water quality assessment for pre-pandemic and during pandemic periods. The result suggested that there is an up-gradation in the quality of lake water in the lockdown period than the pre pandemic period i.e. 30.60% increase in lake water clarity. The satellite image processing techniques had the potential for the estimation of the lake water quality during these difficult times. © 2022 IEEE.
