Applications of Geospatial Technology and Modeling for River Basin Management

by Subodh Chandra Pal (Editor), Uday Chatterjee Ph.D. (Editor), Rabin Chakrabortty (Editor)

Overview

Applications of Geospatial Technology and Modeling for River Basin Management, Volume Twelve covers the use of multi-temporal satellite data for accurate estimations of different watershed features. It includes methods and case studies of the use of geographic information systems (GIS) as a valuable tool for criteria-based spatial analysis to manage natural resources and accurately simulate natural phenomena such as the hydrologic response of a watershed to precipitation and susceptibility to water erosion. The book also provides direction on many types of modelling and mapping techniques in geospatial environments based on river basin management challenges. This book will be a useful guide for academics, researchers, and practitioners involved in the use of geospatial technologies for river basin management, as well as those interested in environmental management and Earth surface geomorphology.

- Covers the use of geospatial technologies and modeling for effective management of river basins

- Includes methodology and detailed case studies showing real-world applications at a variety of scales

- Emphasizes the importance of integrating geospatial tools in decision-making processes for sustainable water resource management
