| Asia is under a great influence of the monsoon, which
produces plenty of fresh water in summer monsoon season. The fresh
water is the base for rice production and supports the large Asian
population. Even a small anomaly from the regular water cycle could
cause serious damage to the human life, ecosystem, etc. The global water cycle is recognized as the part of the global climate system, and the satellite observation is one of powerful and essential research methods. For the operation of the water management, ground-based observation is still the major source of data though some regions have only poor observation networks. The satellite data utilization has been yet well developed. |

| The main objective of this workshop is to explore the
current and future satellite data utilization for the research of the
water cycle and for the water management in Asia. In this workshop we will review the current satellite data utilization in Asia, and the future space missions on the water cycle, particularly on precipitation, and discuss the future space data utilization relevant to water cycle research and water management. |
