A key information requirement for water information systems and Integrated Water Resource Management is the characterization of the physical variables that compose the catchment, including its hydrologic components. EO may provide relevant information at different levels of spatial, temporal and thematic detail. This includes Digital Elevation Models, morphology and hydrologic network, land cover, land use, vegetation and crop, inputs for the water balance Output data can then be ingested in models or GIS for further processing, analyses and simulation of scenarios.

Land Use / Land Cover
