Key Points

Evaluate the Sudd Wetland as natural infrastructure using Earth observation and digital modeling tools to support water management decisions in the Nile Basin.
Applied Earth observation data and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assess wetland spatial dynamics.
Utilized the InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) modeling software to analyze natural infrastructure functions.
Integrates remote sensing and hydrological ecosystem service modeling to evaluate wetland water storage capacity qualitatively.
Establishes a digital water framework translating satellite observation metrics into evidence-based governance decisions for transboundary river basins.
