Remote Sensing and Geospatial Models to Simulate Land Use and Land Cover and Estimate Water Supply and Demand for Water Balancing in Phuket Island, Thailand

Currently, Phuket Island is facing water scarcity because water demand for consumption was approximately 51 million m<sup>3</sup>/year, whereas water supply was only about 46 million m<sup>3</sup>/year. Thus, the study of water supply, demand and balancing are important for e...
