Abstract: Abstract The objective of this study is to analyze relationships between the variability of MODIS derived snow covered area (SCA) and flood dynamics for the management of reservoirs. The study was conducted in the Nechako River Basin in British Columbia (Canada). Relationships were analyzed between daily SCA calculated from filtered MODIS images and the fraction of the flood volume that had already entered the reservoir during the snowmelt period. Results indicate a robust (R2 = 0.87) and significant (p
