There is growing free datasets prepared for hydrologic and water resources modelling worldwide. Already prepared datasets that can be easily imported into our MODELS Datasets can reduce the time spend – SEARCHING, FRUSTRATION of getting the right data the psychological pressure on NOT meeting research deadlines because of lack of “required data”. Processing time spend maybe reduced with global datasets. Increases our chances of obtaining independent datasets for validation our models

There is growing free datasets prepared for hydrologic and water resources modelling world- wide 2. Already prepared datasets that can be easily imported into our MODELS 3. Datasets can reduce the time spend – SEARCHING, FRUSTRATION of getting the right data & the psychological pressure on NOT meeting research deadlines because of lack of “required data” 4. Processing time spend maybe reduced with global datasets 5. Increases our chances of obtaining independent datasets for validation our models 1. Field measurements 2. Spatial measurements – using satellite datasets (L1, L2, L3, L4) 3. Advanced Processed Datasets – combined data 4.
