Rivers are a major source of freshwater. They support aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, provide transportation, and generate hydropower. Managing river basin watersheds is critical for developing policies for sustainable water allocation and development. Over the course of four sessions, this introductory webinar series will address using satellite data and Earth system modeling data sources to estimate surface water budgets.

Objective

By the end of this training, attendees will become familiar with:

• Remote sensing and Earth system modeling data sources relevant for river basin watershed management
• Estimating surface water budgets and their temporal variability in sub-watersheds within river basins

Live sessions took place on 13 March-3 April 2019, but recordings are available.

Materials are available in English and Spanish.
