✦ Synopsis
This paper demonstrates the utility of satellite remote sensing data in water management, and particularly, for ¯ood monitoring and impact analysis. Satellite-derived data can provide timely geographical data from which water body extent in normal and ¯ood regimes can be ascertained. Combined with exogenous and historical data, within a GIS, these can provide information useful for ¯ood prevention decision making. The recent French Alsation, Camargue and Vaison la Romaine ¯oods are taken to illustrate the utility of satellite remote sensing.
