Lower Mekong River Basin (LMRB) Satellite remote sensing products are widely used for monitoring droughts. Using NASA satellite sensors of precipitation (Global Measurement Mission, GPM), soil moisture (Soil Moisture Active and Passive, SMAP), terrestrial water storage (Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment, GRACE), this study evaluates the historical drought in LMRB during 2015–16. SMAP was validated against in-situ moisture, GPM were cross-validated with streamflow observations. The...

The La Plata River Basin (LPRB) is an area of interest, as there was a significant drought event from 2019 to 2021. With the LPRB being second largest river basin in South America, this affected all aspects life for over 100 million people who inhabit area. In study, we utilized satellite and model datasets examine spatial temporal variability hydrological anomalies throughout before during event. These variable anomalies, such precipitation groundwater, are derived Global Land Data...

Abstract To address the competencies of future engineer undergraduate education must train students to not only solve engineering challenges that transcend disciplinary boundaries, but also communicate, transfer knowledge, and collaborate across technical non-technical boundaries. One approach engineers in these is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspired design an curriculum, which offers relevance professional practice as well affective hook frame complex, cross-disciplinary problems. This...

All over the world, water levels are constantly changing. From lakes, to rivers, oceans, patterns of change due different factors. With hydrological extremes increasing in intensity and duration around it is important understand what changes these order better predict mitigate negative impacts changing levels.The goal this study use estimates terrestrial storage (TWS) variability from Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission reservoir operation Brazil. To do this,...
