Remote Sensing and Groundwater
Remote Sensing and Groundwater
Presented on Monday, April 29, 2013
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.

Bill Fernandez is a water resources engineer with 12 years of experience in water resources system analysis and planning. He has extensive experience in performing modeling and analysis for simulation of groundwater flow and contaminant transport, optimization of water supply systems including supply wells, reservoirs, and raw water systems. Fernandez has developed a number of dewatering designs to address sensitive locations including dewatering in support of the excavation and construction of an earthen dam, dewatering next to sensitive wetlands, and dewatering control during pipeline construction in the vicinity of an active groundwater contaminant plume.
