• Combination of optical and microwave image data in providing flood information to support monitoring reservoirs in Vu Gia – Thu Bon watershed.
• Application of Sentinel-1 image data to monitor changes of water bodies at Vu Gia – Thu Bon watershed during dry and flood seasons.
• To provide scientific background to support operation of inter-reservoirs.

- Theoretical results:

• Formulation of a technology in application of Sentinel-1 in monitoring changes across time of water bodies and inudated areas in the watershed.
• Development of method for combination of optical and microwave image data in mapping of land cover.
• Development of algorithm and software for interpolation of boundaries of flood areas between to observation dates.
• Development of algorithm and software for interpolation of depth of flooded areas.
• Development of a method for automated water body extraction from Landsat 8 OLI data. This method was published in ISI journal Limnology and Oceanography: Methods.

- Applied results:

• Establishment of 2016 land cover map using optical and microwave image data for Vu Gia – Thu Bon watershed.
• Development of a database of water bodies for the Vu Gia – Thu Bon watershed based on the latest satellite imageries.
• Inventory of areas and land cover types affected by the 2016 flood.
• Evaluation of capabilities of the Sentinel-1 image data in providing inudation information of the watershed during flood to support operation of inter-reservoirs.

Some images of the project:

• Provment of usefullness of the Sentinel-1 image data to support operation of inter-reservoirs.
• Updating the database of water bodies in the Vu Gia – Thu Bon watershed
• Development of an algorithm for automated water body extraction using Landsat image data.
