Remote Sensing Applications for Water Management

Session ID#: 124305

Session Description:
The strategic combination of remote sensing

products and numerical modeling facilitate

improved monitoring and management of water

resources. Recent advances in sensor technology,

application strategies, and modeling approaches

have led to improved capabilities for forecasting,

monitoring, and managing a range of hydrological

processes that are key to water resource

management. Many high quality satellite

hydrological data products are now being applied

that enable routine monitoring of precipitation, soil

moisture, evapotranspiration, snow, irrigation and

ground water. This session will highlight

advancements in water resource management

strategies through the innovative application of

remote sensing-based hydrological data products

and numerical modeling.
