H52E:
Remote Sensing Applications for Water Resources Management II


Session ID#: 10529

Session Description:
Water resources management can benefit the application of remote sensing and hydrologic models. In addition, remote sensing data products provide valuable information during extreme events, such as the droughts in California and flooding in Southeast Asia.  Remote sensing assets, such as the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, the Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) mission, the Landsat satellites, and many other satellites and airborne platforms can be used to support the operational water resources community for management practices and decisions.  This session will highlight how satellite, airborne and ground-based sensor networks can be used to measure the quantity or quality of hydrologic resources, and provide information to water managers or water users to improve monitoring and management of water resources. Topics of interest include (1) extreme events such as floods and drought; (2) water supply and snow water resource monitoring; (3) evapotranspiration, soil moisture and agricultural water management; and (4) water quality.
