Abstract
Water is increasingly a significant political issue, at the nexus of food and energy security. Effective management is critical to economic development and security. Satellite imagery gives us unique insight into the behaviour of water in the landscape, enabling us to track changes over very large areas over long periods. Decades of imagery from the United States Landsat series have recently been utilised to analyse surface water dynamics over the entire Australian continent over a 27 year period. This world-first water product has demonstrated application to disaster management, wetland behaviour, river system mapping, groundwater/surface water interaction, and water body perenniality. The ability to do such a broad range of studies across a continent helps position societies to have the required discussions about water management.
