SWOT data will be used to support model predictions of drought, which will help in monitoring these highly impactful events.

Models can be greatly enhanced through the integration of space-based observations (like SWOT and other satellites like GRACE-FO), as well as on-the-ground measurements, to improve observations and predictive capabilities. (MS)
