C7 – Improved water bodies mapping

The area of water bodies is identified as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). To extend actual products (Copernicus High-Resolution Layer Water and Wetness; Copernicus Global Land Monitoring Water Bodies), we propose to map water bodies extent and water network at a finest resolution (<10m) using new EO data (SWOT, cf. T2.1) and super-resolution techniques (T2.3) to better characterize water resource and water dynamics in different kind of landscapes (crop, urban, mountains, forest).
