Description :

The book is meant to be a reference and text; it is not a collection of papers from some meeting. The book is intended to provide methods to help the readers solve their own problems in hydrology and water management. Therefore, scientific issues are presented only as far as they are necessary for the application of remote sensing. The reader will see that in some fields, (e.g. evapo-transpiration, soil moisture, hydrological modeling) the scientific development is still on the way, while in others operational techniques are already available (e.g. snow melt run off model, land use classification and detection of land use changes, flood fore-casting and control). Furthermore, the reader will realize, that in many cases re-mote sensing data are only auxiliary information to other data, e.g. digital maps, digital elevation models, modem hydrometric data, etc. In almost all cases remote sensing will not replace, but will augment traditional data.
The readership of this book is expected to consist of hydrologists and water managers, i.e. mainly civil engineers, environmental engineers, geo-scientists and agricultural engineers. The information provided emphasizes possible applications of remote sensing data to hydrological monitoring and modeling as well as for water resources management decisions. New techniques are provided, which due to the unique characteristics of remote senses information.
