Most of the water used for the development of the main socio-economic activities in Central-Western Argentina (CWA), an arid to semi-arid region, home to most of the Argentinean wine production, relies on surface streamflow ...

Droughts are natural events that can cause water scarcity and can consequently have undesired environmental, social and political effects. Because droughts are related to land use and land cover modifications, satellite ...

The matrix of energy generation in Brazil is predominantly hydroelectric power. Consequently, the reservoirs need constant monitoring due to the large volume of artificially dammed water. Images from remote sensing can ...

Detecting droughts as early as possible is important in avoiding negative impacts on economy, society, and environment. To improve drought monitoring, we studied drought propagation (i.e., the temporal manifestation of a ...

Drought is a complex natural hazard with social and environmental implications. Satellite information is increasingly used to support decision-makers in preventing or coping with the negative impacts of drought. The ...

The semiarid region of Northeast Brazil is characterized by recurrent drought episodes. The magnitude of drought events may be assessed using standardized climate indices (SCIs) based on hydrometeorological variables, ...

Drought occurrence is a gradual process with long-lasting effects and satellite remote sensing data help in the monitoring and severity of drought conditions. This paper analyzes MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging ...
