Satellite Based Water Analysis and Drought Planning in Northwest Qld
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
This project will utilize satellite imagery to map and monitor small water bodies and farm dams to improve grazing land management. The project aims to extract time series of water areas from the satellite images, perform time series analysis to assess the shrinkage or expansion of the water bodies, water levels, and determine their precise locations. The focus is on understanding the availability and dynamics of these water resources, which are vital for livestock, domestic use and wildlife habitats. This project will be a partnership between SGNRM and JCU.
