Remote Sensing Applications for Water Management and Extremes Prediction
Remote Sensing Applications for Water Management and Extremes Prediction
Session ID#: 85478
Session Description:
Remote sensing products facilitate routine monitoring of water resources, deficits and extremes, and monitoring of hydrological processes. Many government agencies have invested significantly in developing high quality satellite hydrological data products including precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, snow, irrigation and ground water using observational assets including GPM, SMAP, Terra, Aqua, Landsat, GRACE, and Sentinel satellites, among other satellite and airborne platforms. This session will highlight advancements in understanding, diagnosing, monitoring and predicting hydroclimatic extremes through the application of remote sensing hydrological data products including (1) extreme events such as floods and droughts; (2) water supply and snow water resource monitoring and forecasting; (3) evapotranspiration, soil moisture, groundwater, and agricultural water management; (4) water quality; and (5) global water sustainability.
