Computation of Hydrological Data for Design of Water Projects in Ungauged River Basins

  • Chapter
Remote Sensing in Hydrology and Water Management

Abstract

Socio-economical development on regional, national and international basis requires intensive investigations of water resources. Water differs from other resources by the time variability of the amount of water available for use at any given moment. Non-standard seasonal distribution of hydrometeorological parameters, their fluctuations from region to region and from basin to basin make the planning of water projects difficult.
