9. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. READ MORE
