Water Resources Assessment Using Remote-Sensing Data
IHE Delft Institute for Water Education
Remote Sensing, Spatio-Temporal data, Resource managementTarget Audience
The course is designed for students, researchers, and professionals in water resource management, hydrology, remote sensing, environmental science, and related fields who wish to get applied remote sensing skills and to enhance their technical expertise in using remote sensing data for water resources assessment.
Description
In this course, students will learn the basics of remote sensing and how these datasets are used in combination with other global datasets to assess, analyse and map water resources at the river basin scale. Participants will develop basic GIS and Python skills to produce a river basin fact-sheet. The course covers key concepts of remote sensing, an overview of available remote sensing and other non-traditional data sources, and spatio-temporal data analysis techniques in QGIS and Python to assess water resources and hydrological processes.
