These resources may come from large dams, small reservoirs, or groundwater aquifers. This is the case in the state of Telangana, in South India, where numerous large dams (shown in cyan blue in the figure below) […]

La stéréoscopie par satellite pour le suivi des ressources en eau ?

=> Dans les régions arides ou semi-arides, où l’irrigation est généralisée, le suivi de la ressource en eau agricole est primordial pour anticiper les pénuries. Cette ressource peut-être l’eau de grands barrages, de petits réservoirs ou provenant de l’aquifère. C’est le cas de l’état du Télangana, en Inde du Sud, où de nombreux grands barrages […]
