2013 NGWA Summit — The National and International Conference on Groundwater

Remote Sensing and Groundwater

Monday, April 29, 2013: 4:20 p.m.-5:40 p.m.
Regency East 2 (Hyatt Regency San Antonio)
Remote sensing offers opportunities to affordably quantify aquifer processes and conditions at a far greater resolution than field studies alone. For example, remote sensing can help inform recharge rates, evapotranspiration rates, and even groundwater volumes. This session features presentations on advances in the science of remote sensing and groundwater, as well as successful applications of the technology.
