NASA has contributed to resolve global water issues by utilizing their long-term legacy of remote sensing technologiessupported by a state of art software engineering. In this context, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has developed aland surface model framework to monitor and predict water hazards such as flood and drought with the LandInformation System (hereafter LIS) applied to North America and beyond it to include a global coverage. However, it isstill challenging to apply the LIS to East-Asia where a rice-paddy agriculture is prevalent compared to other parts of theworld, but retains a high population density in this region. Thus, this paper introduces recent efforts from the KoreaWater Resources Corporation (K-water) in S. Korea to establish the LIS in East-Asia including Korea, aiming atproducing surface hydrology datasets in Asia. One of the ultimate goals of this project is to manage the water hazardsin Korea and to provide the water resources dataset in East-Asia by adapting the LIS with their abundantly availablehydrometeorological observations to support the LIS applications. Preliminary results from initiating efforts since thebeginning of 2017 between NASA and K-water are addressed in the paper to review the possible outcomes after thisongoing project to benefit both entities. |
