Increased residential areas and bare soil have negatively affected water quality in urban catchments.
Over the periods studied, areas such as forests and water bodies decreased while pollution increased.
Remote sensing with maximum likelihood classification was used to assess land cover changes from 2003 to 2023.
Findings emphasize the urgency for implementing sustainable land use management strategies to protect water quality.
