The presented study is aimed at evaluating the potential of remote sensing in environmental monitoring and management. Further aims of the research include examining the satellite image processing level most suitable for this purpose. Essentially, a study area was selected to implement basic environmental analysis using level A2 data from Sentinel-2 images. Although the attained images provide some insight into the site occurrences, it was concluded that attaining a comprehensive understanding of the environment (e.g. exact numerical values of water quality parameters) requires a more comprehensive analysis. The required level of research then asks for the utilization of level C1 images, as they allow the extraction of empirical curves, providing the possibility of their calibration and further implementation. Finally, extracting that type of information would support the initial goal, providing better support for proper environmental monitoring and management.
