Google Earth Engine Aplicado a los Recursos Hídricos.

Abstract

Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a platform created on June 11, 2001 making a compilation of archived images from 40 years ago, it has various functionalities through algorithms that allow to process large information in a satellite way through sensors such as Landsat, Modis, Sentinel, TRMM and the Copernicus program. GEE allows monitoring in a very agile and efficient way, it contains remote sensing systems that capture more than 6000 images per day where the change in the earth's surface can be observed. This platform can be used to carry out studies of agriculture, mapbiomes, on vegetation, water surface, etc. In this document he focused on research on the applicability of GEE in water resources, being more specific in the water resource. Because water resources are of vital importance for agriculture, environmental sustainability and economy, Google Earth Engine can help to carry out a control of these, research carried out on monitoring of rainfall, water quality, droughts, evapotranspiration and analysis of the causes of wetland landscape patterns and changes in hydrological connectivity. There are many more investigations on water resources where this platform is used but these were chosen because it was noted that in all other investigations they take into account either precipitation, evaporation, transpiration or the quality and control of water.
