The Heihe River Basin (HRB) is a typical arid inland river basin in northwestern China. From the 1960s to the 1990s, the downstream flow in the HRB declined as a result of large, artificial changes in the distribution of water and land and a lack of effective water resource management. Consequently, the ecosystems of the lower reaches of the basin substantially deteriorated. To restore these de...

Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in number of studies about use remote sensing techniques for monitoring inland waters. Since these aquatic environments have multiple uses mankind, them is essential environment, society, and economy. The Earth Observations data waters important water quantity quality management. Because this, goal present study to systematically ...

The river Rhine is one of Europe’s busiest waterways and part the Rhine-Alpine corridor. In 2018 experienced a severe low discharge extreme. This impacted river’s transport capacity for period several months, causing shortages source materials fuels in regions far in-land. Historically, prolonged droughts this magnitude are not uncommon. Concerns have been raised, however, that climate change m...

This work introduces Sentinel-1 based Inland water dynamics Mapping System (SIMS), an open-source web application developed to enable automated mapping of inland using radar imagery. SIMS relies on a novel framework built Python and Google Earth Engine. The underlying algorithm involves simple binary thresholding technique outlier removal method tailored perform efficiently across complicated f...
