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...

This study aims to simulate the LULC data using the CLUE-S model, estimate water supply using the SWAT model, and calculate water demand using a water footprint basis for water balancing on the Island. In addition, tourist water demand was separately estimated under normal and new normal conditions (COVID-19 pandemic) to fit with the actual situation at national and international levels. Water balance results with the consideration of ecological water requirements suggest that a water deficit occurs every year under the dry year scenario in normal and new normal conditions.
