NDWI-processed composite image from Landsat 8 OLI data of the Lower Illinois River Valley and surrounding landscapes from summer 2021. Shades of pale yellow indicate dry vegetation and dark teal represents open water, while brighter turquois values depict wet vegetation. Areas of high NDWI values are demonstrative of high presence of wet vegetation and are of interest to the Great Rivers Land Trust in identifying areas of interest for wetland conservation.

An NDWI waterbody mask derived from Landsat-8 OLI cloud-masked imagery from March-May 2019-2021 is shown in blue at 10-meter resolution over Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. The ALOS-PALSAR-2 fine-beam L-band false color composite includes Refined Lee speckle filtered HV, HH, HH/HV bands. Darker and brighter green hues represent to low and high backscatter, respectively. Differentiating between open water, like the Hondo River, from vegetated inundation is important when distinguishing inundation by land cove
