Software to Support Remote Sensing of River Discharge Based on Critical Flow Theory

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 915-928, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Water resource management requires accurate observations of streamflow but standard field methods for measuring river discharge ( Q ) can be costly and hazardous for equipment and personnel. Remote sensing has become a viable alternative, but many image‐based techniques require field data for calibration, and depth and velocity can seldom be ...
