3 Water resources assessment in Arabian Peninsula Jan Friesen Climatic boundaries Vegetation Integrated hydrological synthesis Anke Hildebrandt T Kalbacher / E Kalbus Rudolf Liedl / Marc Walter Groundwater Infiltration & recharge Christian Siebert Observation - Modeling - Analysis Management Tool Climatic boundary conditions 3

4 Validation using ground observation data Annual rain days above 10 mm/day satellite estimate Source Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), product 3B42, Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) Validation using ground observation data Rain gauge observation data Low density gauge network High spatial variability Source Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), product 3B42, Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) 4

5 Validation using change detection of land surface Additional satellite data Vegetation indices (MODIS EVI) or Land Surface Temperature data (MODIS) Change detection determines if rainfall occurred Challenges Relate magnitude of change (Vegetation or temperature) to rainfall amount and relevance for ground water recharge Validation using change detection of land surface Vegetation response to rainfall 25 km TRMM resolution 250 m MODIS resolution Source Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), product 3B42, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), product 13Q1 5

6 Linking ground observations to satellite data Land surface temperature observations on test site Measure land surface temperature signal before and after different sprinkler irrigation scenarios Determine duration and magnitude of sprinkler irrigation related surface temperature signals Determine relevant rainfall events required for ground water recharge infiltration & potential recharge 6

7 Upper Mega Aquifer: km 2 sand cover Al-Nafud km 2 Ad-Dahna km 2 Rub-al-Khali km 2 Quaternary Tertiary Cretaceous Does recharge occurs under sand cover and aridity? Indications are given...?...however, investigations so far never below point of no return 7
