Hydropower and Sediment Management from Space Webinar N°2 Diving deeper: Validating data and exploring the benefits.

How accurate are satellite-derived water quality data? And how do they benefit hydropower managers and dam designers aiming for smart monitoring and sediment release? Following a first preview in December 2021, we dive deeper into the new HYPOS portal - a toolbox for space-based information on reservoirs and river environments – on 31st March 2022.

Your key takeaways:

Get a brief intro to HYPOS.
Learn from data scientists, how satellite-derived water quality data and models have been validated in fieldwork campaigns in Switzerland, Georgia and Albania.
Dam engineering experts will showcase the opportunities HYPOS offers for both the development and operation phases, after tests in large European reservoirs.
See how HYPOS can help you to fill data gaps, optimize sediment release operations or visualize baselines and seasonal trends.

Get in touch with the HYPOS team during the Q&A session. Take the chance to get your requirements considered before the official launch at HYDRO ’22.
