abstract = "Southwestern Amazonia, where Bolivia, Peru and Brazil meet, faces
numerous challenges to the sustainable utilization of water
resources as the region experiences rapid population and economic
growth, expanding agriculture, transportation and energy sectors,
along withfrequent flooding and droughts. Yet, despite the
critical role that water plays in the life and biodiversity of the
region, in-situ data availability is limited and little is known
about the condition of the streams and rivers. Radar altimetry
data have been recognized as an alternative to in-situ
hydrological data in remote areas and have the potential to fill
critical information gaps in such ungauged or poorly gauged
basins. We have computed 15 water level time series and annual
water level hydrographs of the Madre De Dios River in Southeastern
Peru and Northwestern Bolivia, using ENVISAT altimetry data over
the period 2002-2010.Trends and variability in hydrological regime
were analyzed for Madre De Dios River. The hydrological regime is
characterized by a multimodal flood wave, fast rise and slow
recession. Drought has occurred during the months of August to
September, and flood has occurred during December to February. The
amplitude of the water stage denotes higher values downstream
while the values much lower upstream reaches. These results
demonstrate that the altimetry ENVISAT data to measure and monitor
the transient flood waves of this trans-boundary river can be
realized and are the basis for further understanding of the
ecohydrological processes of the Madeira River Basin.",
