Abstract The drastic decline in the hydrometeorological network in devel­oping countries since 1980 has marked another major phase in the application of computing and information systems to hydrological science. The computing era has brought about the development of a more reliable hydrological information system, complex mathematical and statistical modelling and simulation in hydrology and the PUB approach. This paper examines the prospects of the NigeriaSat-1 data for hydrological model parameterization towards sustainable water resources management in Nigeria
