Remote Sensing in Hydrology

Remote sensing in hydrology involves using satellite or aerial technology to observe and measure water-related features and processes on Earth's surface, such as rainfall, river flow, groundwater, and water quality. These sensors gather data without direct contact, providing timely, broad-scale information crucial for managing water resources, predicting floods, and monitoring droughts. This technology allows scientists to assess water conditions over large or inaccessible areas efficiently, aiding decision-making and sustainable water management.
