Summary
FluViSat is a proof-of-concept study leveraging recent scientific advances in hydrology to explore the potential use of satellite-collected video, and now high framerate still imagery, to provide accurate and timely quantification of water movements and river flows for the benefit of water management globally.
The project is funded through the European Space Agency's (ESA) - Future EO-1 EO Science for Society - Grand Science Challenges, with Phase 1 running between January and December 2022, and Phase 2 between May and November 2023. It is led by UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, in partnership with the Luxembourg-based company, RSS-Hydro, and the Queensland Government, Australia.
