Satellite monitoring of Venezuelan hydrographic basins

Overview

In Venezuela, the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (Abae) is conducting a satellite monitoring project to evaluate 14 high-priority hydrographic basins. The initiative focuses on regions essential for hydroelectric power and drinking water, including states such as Lara, Sucre, Amazonas, and Bolívar.

Researchers are analyzing five years of data to monitor surface coverage changes, human intervention, forest degradation, and sediment accumulation. The goal of the project is to provide data to authorities to help mitigate environmental degradation and ensure the long-term availability of water resources.
