SWaD
Satellite Water Detection
SWaD (Satellite Water Detection) is a methodology that uses remote sensing resources and a proprietary algorithm to identify natural and artificial water reservoirs, using satellite imagery. It is a tool with global application that makes it possible to identify watersheds and automatically calculate their average capacity and depth. The detection method is based on the simultaneous use of multispectral and RADAR imagery in order to guarantee greater certainty in the identification.
