<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Water is a key concern across the African continent. Many countries are experiencing extreme conditions, such as drought or floods. Water case study analyses can pave the way towards data-driven policy and mitigation strategies. [<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/01/16/cape-town-confronts-looming-day-zero-water-crisis/" target="[object Object]">Image source</a>]</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are many useful analyses that involve water, such as:</p>
<ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Detection of drought</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Flood modelling and prediction</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Mangrove analysis: mangroves can lessen damage from water surges such as those from storms and tsunamis</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Detection of coastal erosion</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Reporting for indicators in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that involve water.

<p style="text-align: left;">There are several notebooks in the Digital Earth Africa Sandbox that analyse water bodies. These case study notebooks can be found in the Sandbox folder called <strong>Real_world_examples</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The </span><strong style="color: #000000;">Real_world_examples</strong><span style="color: #000000;"> folder contains many case studies; the notebooks related to water are summarised below.</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #e74c3c; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Chlorophyll_monitoring.ipynb<br /></span>This notebook monitors chlorophyll-a in water bodies using Sentinel-2 data. Chlorophyll-a can indicate the presence of algal blooms, and monitoring this with satellite imagery can provide insights into water quality. The notebook plots the value of the Normalised Difference Chlorophyll Index (NDCI) along with water body area to understand how the presence of chlorophyll-a changes with time.</li>
<li><span style="color: #e74c3c; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Coastal_erosion.ipynb<br /></span>This notebook monitors coastal erosion with Landsat 8 data. Using satellites to monitor coastal change over large areas can be a cost-effective method of tracking change and preempting infrastructure needs. This notebook extracts shorelines from composite measures of the Modified Normalised Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and plots how they change from year to year.</li>
<li><span style="color: #e74c3c; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Intertidal_elevation.ipynb<br /></span>This notebook models tides with Landsat 5, 7, and 8 data. By examining the presence of water between low and high tide, the notebook builds up a 3D elevation map of inter-tidal zones such as sandy beaches and rocky shores.</li>
<li><span style="color: #e74c3c; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Radar_water_detection.ipynb<br /></span>This notebook detects water using Sentinel-1 data. Sentinel-1 is a radar satellite, which is unaffected by cloud cover. This allows the detection of water in cloudy conditions, such as during heavy rain events.</li>
<li><span style="color: #e74c3c; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">Water_extent_WOfS.ipynb<br /></span>This notebook determines the extent of water bodies using the WOfS dataset, which is derived from Landsat data. This notebook relates to Sustainable Development Goals around the spatial extent of water systems, such as UN SDG Indicator 6.6.1. This is an important first step in monitoring the change of water systems over time.<br />The exercise in this session, Session 6, will contain instructions to create a similar notebook.</li>

<p style="text-align: left;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #000000;">An example of the Water Observations from Space (WOfS) dataset over Senegal.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While we can detect water using band indices, Digital Earth Africa provides the Water Observations from Space (WOfS) dataset. The algorithm that generates this dataset has been trained to detect water in Landsat imagery. You can learn more about WOfS and its algorithm by accessing the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-style: normal;">Datasets</strong> folder on the Sandbox, and double-clicking the <code class="docutils literal notranslate" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: nowrap; max-width: 100%; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e1e4e5; padding: 2px 5px; color: #e74c3c; overflow-x: auto; font-style: normal;"><span class="pre" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Water_Observations_from_Space.ipynb</span></code> notebook to open it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span color="#000000" style="color: #000000;">There are several WOfS products available through the Digital Earth Africa Sandbox. They can be used for analysis in the same way we have been loading and using Landsat and Sentinel satellite products. We summarise two WOfS products below —<strong> feature layers</strong> and <strong>annual summary</strong>.</span></p>
<h3>Feature layers</h3>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">The base product for WOfS is the feature layers product, <a class="reference external" href="https://explorer.digitalearth.africa/products/wofs_ls/extents" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2980b9; text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer;">wofs_ls</a>. It has a single measurement called <code class="docutils literal notranslate" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: nowrap; max-width: 100%; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e1e4e5; padding: 2px 5px; color: #e74c3c; overflow-x: auto;"><span class="pre" style="box-sizing: border-box;">water</span></code>, which indicates how the algorithm classifies each pixel in the image. <code class="docutils literal notranslate" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: nowrap; max-width: 100%; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e1e4e5; padding: 2px 5px; color: #e74c3c; overflow-x: auto;"><span class="pre" style="box-sizing: border-box;">water=0</span></code> means a dry pixel, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12px; white-space: nowrap; max-width: 100%; background-image: initial; background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e1e4e5; padding: 2px 5px; color: #e74c3c; overflow-x: auto;"><span class="pre" style="box-sizing: border-box;">water=128</span></code> is a water pixel.</p>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">There are a few different classifications for other types of pixels, such as cloud. These are also mapped to unique values.</p>

<h3>Annual summary</h3>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">Digital Earth Africa also has an annual summary WOfS product called <a class="reference external" href="https://explorer.digitalearth.africa/products/wofs_ls_summary_annual/extents" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2980b9; text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer;">wofs_ls_summary_annual</a>. This product records how often a pixel was classified as water in a given year. This is useful for comparing the presence of water over different years. The WOfS annual summary dataset contains three measurements:</p>
