  abstract = {{T}his study presents the monitoring of the sediment discharge from the {I}ndaia {R}iver into the {T}res {M}arias reservoir, based on the use of satellite images. {A} 12-year time series of {MODIS} 8-day image composites ({T}erra and {A}qua on-board sensors) was used in this study. {E}stimates of the water surface reflectance were calculated using the algorithm {MOD}3{R}. {R}iver suspended sediment discharge records made available from the {CEMIG} hydroelectric company were integrated in the analysis to understand the variability of the remote sensing reflectance. {T}he results showed a strong relationship between the reflectance data and the {I}ndaia river solid discharge. {A} strong variation of the reflectance is assessed within the reservoir (upstream towards downstream), with high reflectance values upstream (near the river mouth) and low reflectance values downstream. {T}he estimated percentage of valid records in {MODIS} images met the requirements for monitoring the flow of sediment. {E}stimates of water reflectance show great potential in relating the sedimentation processes within the {R}eservoir as a function of time.},
