Research activities are being conducted to observe water resources, particularly water quantity, using remote sensing methods. In lakes and reservoirs, these studies analyze changes in water surface area, water levels and surface evaporation losses originating from reservoirs. In rivers, they involve evaluating satellite-derived discharge against in-situ measurements.
Another important area of research focuses on agricultural activities, which account for a significant part of water consumption. In this context, studies are carried out to estimate agricultural areas within the relevant basins, the crops cultivated in these areas, and the corresponding agricultural water needs by use of satellite imagery and/or analysis-ready tools.
