Water quality monitoring and evaluation using remote sensing techniques in China: a systematic review

Introduction: The application of remote-sensing techniques for water quality assessment has become increasingly popular in China. However, existing reviews are often limited to qualitative description and are quite fragmented. Outcomes: We conducted a quantitative systematic review to display curren...
