Resumo(s)

Estimating runoff is vital for managing water resources, especially in areas where water is essential for agriculture, industry, and households. Traditionally, this involved using data from rain gauge stations and complex mathematical equations based on physical principles. However, this study explores advanced modeling techniques integrating satellite observations, particularly in regions lacking historical hydrological data. By employing insitu precipitation data and various remote sensing products such as CHIRPS precipitation, MOD09GA_006 NDVI, MOD11A1 V6.1 LST, and MOD16A2GF.061 ET from 2001 to 2020, a Fully Connected Long Short-Term Memory (FC-LSTM) model was developed to predict monthly runoffs in the basin. Compared to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, the LSTM model outperformed, achieving higher accuracy with an R2 of 0.94 and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.93, while SWAT obtained R2 and NSE values of 0.78 and 0.75, respectively. Additionally, integrating remote sensing variables enhanced model performance, underscoring the potential of remote sensing in hydrological studies. These findings advance our understanding of runoff estimation methods and underscore the importance of LSTM models and remote sensing technology in hydrology.
