This study explored the use of multi-source remotely sensed data in monitoring the spatial distribution of pools and pool dynamics in two distinct semi-arid sites in South Africa. The factors that control the pool dynamics were also examined. Three water extraction indices were used, these included Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified NDWI and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index. In addition, random forest classifier and Sentinel-1 SAR data were used in mapping pools and pools dynamics for both sites. Overall, the remotely-sensed methods detected and mapped pools with acceptable accuracy, except for small pools (&lt;400 m 2 ). The results suggest that flow occurrences and rainfall are key in controlling temporal changes in pools sizes, and there was no interaction between pools and groundwater. The study showed that remote sensing methods are essential for filling ground monitoring gaps in non-perennial rivers and determining hydrological processes and water availability from pools in semi-arid environments.
