Gis and Remote Sensing in Hydrology, Water Resources and Environment

by Yangbo Chen, Kaoru Takara, Ian D. Cluckie

Present-day remote sensing and GIS capabilities enable more accurate precipitation measurements and terrestrial characteristics data to be built into hydrological models and systems. Contributions by scientists, engineers and policy makers bring together innovative applications of these Flood forecasting; Runoff simulation; Hydrological change; Water resources management; Environmental modelling; and Data management. Useful reading for both researchers and practitioners, bringing together innovative applications of current technologies. The International Association of Hydrological Sciences is the world's premier member-based organization promoting the study and practice of Hydrology. Our books are authored, edited and produced at the highest level of quality, with the most current and thorough research. Our publications and our work advance the science and the professional practice of Hydrology in a variety of Science and Engineering fields around the world.
