Extracting surface water like lake water areas from satellite images quickly and accurately has been an important research topic, which is of great significance to the water disaster monitoring and water resource management. Sentinel-2 multi spectral imager (MSI) and Landsat8 operational land imager (OLI) data are two popular medium- to high- resolution data sources that are freely available. Using the Poyang Lake as the study area and employing four popular water indices, i.e., normalized difference water index (NDWI), modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI), automatic water extraction index (AWEIsh) and water index created with linear discriminant analysis (WI2015), the authors extracted water distribution from two types of images respectively. Water extraction results derived from different images and different water indices were analyzed. The accuracy of the water extraction results was evaluated by visual interpretation results of corresponding GF-1 images. The results reveal that, for these two remote sensing images, all water indices can detect most water body successfully. Among these indices, AWEIsh and WI2015 have relatively higher extraction accuracy, reaching 98% and 94% respectively on Sentinel-2 and Landsat8 images. Compared with Landsat8 images, Sentinel-2 images are capable of reflecting more detailed water body information, and the overall extraction accuracy is higher.
