The Aculeo lagoon basin has been declared an emergency drought place, limiting water usage strictly for domestic use. Chile's laws impose economic sanctions on individuals who use water resources to irrigate grass in these places. This project evaluates the healthy lawn condition in a specific dry season (period without rain events) to identify the areas that have potentially been using the water resource illegally by using multi-spectral and multitemporal free satellite data at the Aculeo lagoon basin. We derive different soil indices, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI), Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Moisture Stress Index (MSI), and Bare Soil Index (BSI) during October 2021 to April 2022. Also, we perform a cluster analysis to evaluate the statistical distribution of healthy vegetation cover. All the results are available in an ArcGIS interactive web map. This research proves some properties have probably used water to irrigate lawns because their health has maintained or increased over time. Thus, we estimate the lawn areas in the basin and their water consumption to illustrate how much water has been used illegally. In addition, the cluster analysis demonstrates a consistent pattern of healthy vegetation covers, concluding that these groupings are unusual compared to the entire basin. We present tools and protocols to be used in areas of water scarcity to identify locations that use the water resource illegally, helping governmental authorities to accomplish personal inspections and impose legal sanctions.Type
