Proposal
The moisture content of the land surface will be a crucial parameter to find the health of vegetation. However, areal assessment of soil moisture conditions through field surveys is very expensive and cumbersome. This study shows the estimation and correlation between Normalised Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the southern Ontario region using Landsat satellite data within ArcGIS pro.
