Sustainable management of limited fresh water resources is crucial to achieve a
water secure future in the changing climatic scenarios and fullful the increasing water demand.
Assessment of hydrological/water resources, both surface and groundwater, is
central for scheming an effective water-resource management and policy. Space
and airborne geophysical observations provide new possibilities of mapping and
monitoring of water resources, which can allow to develop coupled surface water
and groundwater models. It is planned to deliberate novel techniques for aquifer
mapping, and quantification of hydrological fluxes at watershed and river basin
scales essential for forecasting and management of resources.
