The Pantanal is an extensive flooded plain, rich in biodiversity and considered a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site. It has great complexity and can be divided into regions due to its each distinct characteristic. Nhecolândia is a very peculiar region because it is made up of thousands of freshwater and brackish ponds. The study objective was to evaluate the physical-chemical parameters of the Nhecolândia ponds and to analyze the vegetation indexes generated from UAV aerial photographs in order to identify what best distinguishes freshwater and brackish ponds and to differentiate study area features. The in-field and image data collection were performed on June 20, 2015. The aerial photographs were processed to obtain mosaic which served as a vegetation index basis. The indexes and wavelengths in the visible region analyses were performed for each of the area’s ponds. It was observed that bays and salines have a differentiated spectral behavior. The excess green and normalized excess green vegetation indexes presented results enough to separate freshwater from brackish ponds, plus to differentiate many study area features.
