Identifying and mapping Critical Source Areas (CSAs) and their spatial positions in the landscape are crucial for effective water quality management. My objective is to enhance the identification and mapping of CSAs by leveraging remotely sensed soil moisture data and terrain properties. To achieve this, I utilize advanced tools and software such as SWAT, machine learning algorithms, programming languages and high-performance computing resources
