The use of satellite data in the field of hydrogeology and water resources started with the availability of Landsat MSS and then TM data. These were later complemented by SPOT multispectral (XS), panchromatic (P) and stereo pairs, then by the merging of radar and visible data. This evolution is presented as four case studies where remote sensing has played a critical role; they show how an enhanced knowledge of structural geology has helped in siting borehole locations, how the use and distribution of a water resource were improved, how potential flow rates in an aquifer were computed, and how the type of infrastructure (well versus small dam) was chosen as a result of optimizing local conditions. Together with a quantitative approach (from small to large flow rates) there was a qualitative evolution mainly brought by multisource data combination. They allowed to advance from a resource mining approach to that of the management of a renewable resource.
