Improved Hydrologic Decision Support for the Lower Mekong River Basin Through Integrated Remote Sensing and Modeling John D. Bolten, Hydrological Sciences Lab , NASA GSFC Model + satellite observaBons October 29 th , 2006 This project will use an established land surface model – Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) along with NASA satellite data products and in-situ observaFons for water management decisions in the Lower Mekong River Basin. The specific tasks include using NASA satellite precipitaFon and vegetaFon as inputs to the SWAT model and use of satellite soil moisture and evapotranspiraFon for validaFon. We will also use the in-situ discharge measurements in the Lower Mekong River Basin for calibraFon and validaFon purposes. Final opFmized products will be dispersed through the development of the SERVIR Mekong ObservaFon Repository (SMOR).
