Using Remote Sensing to Improve Water Management
Using Remote Sensing to Improve Water Management
Session ID#: 161731
Session Description:
Satellite data is increasingly used to support decision-making for water resources management, complementing and enhancing in-situ data to make important decisions. Managing water is challenging due to rising demand, climate change and population growth. This session explores use of remotely-sensed Earth observations (EO) to inform water decisions. Recent advances in sensor technology, satellite data products and modeling have improved monitoring of key parts of the water cycle including precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, snow, irrigation and groundwater. Presentations will highlight advances in water management through the innovative use of EO and modeling, and strategies for delivering impactful solutions to decision makers.
