Abstract | This study presents recommendations for the application of actual and future satellite remote sensing systems for groundwater research in the ESCWA region. Included in the document is an aquifer case study from Jordan/Syria and preliminary evaluations of three selected studies from northern Jordan, the Oman Mountains, and the desert area of Saudi Arabia and Oman. These demonstrate the application of remote sensing and its limits. The objective of the study is to provide information and guidance to national institutions of ESCWA member states on the application of satellite remote sensing methods with respect to hydrogeological problems. |
