Abstract
Climate change poses prodigious challenges to water resource management. In addressing these challenges, traditional grey measures lack adaptability and long-term sustainability. In contrast, Nature Based Solutions (NBSs) offer flexible, sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. The design and effectiveness of NBS-based adaptation strategies could be potentially assessed through integrated hydrological models, which simulate both surface and subsurface complex hydrological processes. However, the accuracy of models to efficiently simulate the hydrological processes significantly depends on the quality and availability of input data. Earth Observation (EO) datasets offer a wide range of hydrological data with comprehensive spatial and temporal coverage, yet their quality remains uncertain and requires evaluation across different scales and regions.....
