2 Dr. George P. Petropoulos Senior Lecturer in Remote Sensing & GIS Department of Geography and Earth Sciences University of Aberystwyth, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion Wales, United Kingdom Introduction and Objectives Information on our planet s water resources is indispensable to a number of practical applications related to both society and ecosystems. Globally, the monitoring of the Earth s water resources has developed into a very important and urgent research direction, especially in the face of climate change. Yet, the amount of water available throughout the world is already limited, and demand will continue to rise as population grows. In this context, there is a growing need to monitor and obtain a better understanding of its use, which will provide information that can assist towards the development of effective water management strategies and infrastructures. This can be of crucial importance, particularly to regions on which the amount of water available is limited. As compared to other natural resources, modelling and management of water is complicated in practice. The launch of numerous Earth Observation (EO) sensors from advanced satellites such as SMOS, Landsat8, GCOM- W1, SMAP, GPM, TRMM, Radar etc has the potential to reshape the water world, when used on a geospatial modeling framework. These instruments provide necessary data that can make up for the lack of on-the-ground monitoring of water resources around the world. Hence, the use of satellite in and sophisticated computational techniques for the management of water can play an important role in the future of water resources. Remote Sensing have gained considerable interests in recent decades among the hydrological science communities for solving and understanding various complex problems and approaches towards water resource development. Therefore the primary aim of this session is to advance the scientific understanding, development, and application of remote sensing technologies to address a variety of areas related to hydrological applications. In this essence, a session is needed to putting together a collection of the recent developments and rigorous applications of the satellites in combination with GIS, artificial intelligence and hybrid techniques. By using the datasets from satellite missions, this session will promote the synergistic and multidisciplinary activities among scientists and users working in the field remote sensing and hydrological sciences. The satellite remote sensing for hydrological applications includes, but not limited to: Hydro-environmental applications, Soil moisture and Precipitation retrieval Sensitivity analysis of satellite datasets for hydrological applications Uncertainty in satellite datasets uses for hydrological prediction Agro-informatics and agricultural water management,
3 Water Quality and quantity Groundwater level monitoring Geo-informatics New algorithms and Computational advancement Decision-making algorithm towards water resources Natural disaster management such as flood and drought etc This session will have several scopes of interests in water resources on a remote sensing platform. We believe that this session would be attended by the people with a common interest in geo-spatial techniques, remote sensing, sustainable water resource development, applications and other diverse backgrounds within earth, environmental and hydrological sciences field. This session would be beneficial for the academician, scientists, environmentalists, meteorologists, environmental consultants, computing experts working in the area of water resources and remote sensing.
