Abstract

This Phase I project studied the feasibility of remote sensing technology (e.g., satellite imagery tools) to support targeted catchment management activities, which may include engagement with land managers to change practices and the provision of land use inputs into catchment-scale hydrological and nutrient pollution models. The project was published in three volumes and promising technologies from Phase I are being further evaluated in Project 4576. Research partner: UKWIR. Published in 2015.
