Abstract

In this paper we present the results of a project approved in the frame of the 2007 Cosmo-Skymed AO, devoted to use high resolution data for hydrology applications in semi-arid context. A case study was developed in Burkina Faso, a West Africa country, characterized by the alternation of intense rainy and dry seasons. In this paper we present the rationale of the project along with two of the obtained products concerning the estimation of eroded areas and the surface water recharge.
