Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid urbanization poses significant challenges to sustainable water management, necessitating innovative approaches to monitor, manage, and mitigate water-related issues. This Special Issue focuses on leveraging multi-source remote sensing sensors to address these challenges. We aim to explore how remote sensing technologies can provide critical insights into water resource management, particularly in urban settings experiencing rapid growth.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest research related to solving challenges in hydrology monitoring using remote sensing and GIS technology. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Monitoring urban water bodies using high-resolution satellite imagery;
- Assessing the impacts of urbanization on hydrological cycles and water quality;
- Employing UAVs in real-time water management and flood monitoring;
- Integrating remote sensing data with GIS for comprehensive urban water resource management;
- Evaluating the effectiveness of urban water management policies using remote sensing data;
- Exploring the impact of urbanization on the water–energy–food nexus;
- Evaluating water security and sustainable development in urban areas.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
