Published purpose
The SWOT satellite, launched in 2022, offers unprecedented capability to measure water levels for Canada's vast network of lakes and rivers, crucial for ecosystems as well as economic and cultural activities. Adapting SWOT data to Canada's context, particularly addressing challenges like ice cover, through a research project will enhance water resource management for entities like Environment and Climate Change Canada and dam operators, aiding in adapting to climate change impacts on water resources.
