Leveraging NASA Water Resource Program for Water Quality Management

The need for innovative inland water quality monitoring and management strategies has never been greater. NASA’s Water Resource Program aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations around satellite observations of water quality and support user-centered needs. This presentation highlights recent advancements in satellite instrumentation, predictive modeling, and capacity building for monitoring water quality indicators. At unprecedented accuracy and spatial and temporal scales, new science to action approaches have been developed for post wildfire response, linking environmental economic and water quality data, understanding water supply stressors, and much more. The NASA Water Resource Program is ultimately committed to addressing the complexities of the hydrologic cycle and meeting the diverse needs of communities that translate satellite observations of water quality into actionable insights for management.
