<abstract>
<p>The protection of wetlands is a critical concern in environmental science, as these ecosystems serve as vital habitats for a wide range of valuable species. Remote sensing technologies, particularly satellite imagery, provide practical means for continuous monitoring of wetland conditions, including water level and spatial changes. In this study, a nationwide wetland dataset for Iran was generated using Sentinel-2 imagery and image fusion techniques, achieving a spatial resolution of 10 meters. This dataset was designed to support the training and validation of a deep learning model across various seasons and geographical regions. The proposed deep network is characterized by high depth and a reduced number of trainable hyperparameters to enhance computational efficiency while maintaining robust feature extraction. The model was applied to the Miankaleh Wetland, located in Iran&apos;s Mazandaran Province, for three consecutive years. Validation against ground truth data demonstrated high performance, with an average overall accuracy of 98%, a Kappa coefficient of 94%, and an F1-score of 99%. Finally, the temporal changes in water area over the three-year period were quantified, fulfilling the main objective of this research.</p>
