General objective of the project is the application and use of remote sensing-based Earth Observation (EO) data for hydrological basin modelling tailored to various end-user and stakeholder decision support. During the initial phase of the project, different target countries and related case studies, distributed all over the globe, were selected: ICARDA?s focus country is Morocco.
In this case study, two different hydrological models have been applied (SWAT and PCR-GLOBWB) to investigate the rainfall and runoff pattern across the basin. The novelty of this modeling approach is setting up and model calibration based on spatially distributed EO data while neglecting the use of in-situ data ? thus to investigate the performance of remote sensing-based EO data to describe the watershed?s hydrological regime.
