Mapping and Monitoring Lakes and Reservoirs with Satellite Observations (Feb 9, 16, 23)
- Start Date:
- Feb. 9, 2021
- End Date:
- Feb. 23, 2021
- Country:
- United States
- Description:
- Freshwater lakes and reservoirs are used for drinking water, fishing, and recreational activities. This training focuses on introducing remote sensing observations for monitoring the water level of lakes; a critical surface water component affecting the residential, economical, and recreational sectors in the area. Recent observations of lake bathymetry based on remote sensing observations will also be presented. This is a 3-day training offered on February 9, 16, & 23, 2021. An identical session will be offered from 10:00-11:30 AM and 16:00-17:30 PM EST (UTC-5) on each day of the training.
- Targeted Audience:
- Federal, state, regional, and local public and private organizations involved in water resources and ecosystem management, dam and hydropower operations, and waterfront recreation and development planning
- Expected Outcomes:
- By the end of this training attendees will learn to: • Identify the remote sensing data and methodology required to obtain water level and bathymetry of lakes • Access water height and bathymetry data for monitoring lake levels • Illustrate the use of lake level and bathymetry data for lake and reservoir management
