Harnessing SWOT Data: Empowering Communities for Water Management in a Changing Climate

In an era of escalating climate change, the global water cycle is undergoing rapid acceleration, resulting in both intensified flooding and prolonged drought conditions in various communities worldwide. To address these challenges and provide actionable insights for effective water management, the deployment of SWOT (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) data has emerged as a critical tool. SWOT's unique capabilities are set to revolutionize flood forecasts, drought monitoring, and disaster preparedness, offering essential information to a wide spectrum of stakeholders including water management agencies, civil engineers, academic institutions, governmental bodies, and defense organizations.
