Monitoring of all relevant aspects of water bodies is highly important for their sustainable use. To achieve this all research findings should be easy accessible and presenting those in a user friendly manner will be highly advantageous. Therefore, development of a database on the coastal water bodies of Sri Lanka on KISSEL server system was initiated, for the benefit of all interest groups including the general public. Presently it contains water quality data of lagoons and estuaries for over two decades. This was extended from a local scale to a regional scale. In this extension, algorithm improvement or tuning based on in-situ data sets was carried out for optimization. The aim was to expand the databases on water bodies using satellite analysis within selected Asian countries. It was initiated through KISSEL server system to benefit pollution monitoring and sustainable use of water bodies. Water bodies of Japan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines were selected considering their economic and ecological importance. In-situ research parallel to satellite overpass were conducted on the following water bodies. Local Universities and/or Research Institutes collaborated with the collection of field data and will involve in future continuous monitoring programs and KISSEL related activities.
