With these information, and also the distribution of crops and water demand during corresponding growth period, decision for drought relief can be made, namely, from where and when to divert how much water to mitigate drought situation.
(3)Dynamic monitoring of ecology and estimation of water demand for ecology

Water diversion to downstream of the Talimo River
It was a serious problem that water demand for ecology had not been considered in water resources distribution.

(4)Irrigation area investigation and development planning
In order to contend water, irrigation area is blindly developed in some places. It results in water shortage in downstream basin. In order to realize comprehensive management of water resources for the whole basin, irrigation area is an important and basic information.
Irrigation planning can be done on the basis of GIS-based database including water body, precipitation, soil, groundwater table, temperature, topography, runoff, water quality of groundwater. After weighting different factor separately, the place suitable for developing irrigation can be optimally selected.

Remote sensing is very effective for monitoring blue and green alga due to eutrophication in lakes and reservoirs and red tide along the coastal area.
(7) Planning, construction and management of water project
Remote sensing is the major source of data and information to GIS-based database, the spatial analysis and on-line virtual reality technology can play their important role on this basis.
