MODIS - NASA

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, observes the Earth in 36 spectral bands with resolutions between 250 m and 1 km, generating global coverage every 1-2 days. Its data are key for monitoring vegetation, fires, clouds, and land and ocean temperatures.

In water management, MODIS can detect variations in soil moisture, changes in water bodies and basins, and assess droughts and floods. In this way, its measurements support both scientific research and strategic planning for sustainable water use.
