Abstract

We collected reflectance data from Piura, Ancash, and Ica, from June 7 to  September 22, 2019. Correlation analysis of the data collected with data from the Sentinel-2 satellite obtained a low correlation caused by acquisition geometry, and temporal difference, among others. A supervised classification  was  performed on a mosaic formed by Sentinel-2 satellite images, from Tumbes to  Tacna, to identify possible areas polluted by wastewater collector systems, identifying a 50-meter-deep collector generating a plume of up to 3 km on the surface off Chorrillos and 2 km offshore .
