Decision Support Tools for Drought Management in Mediterranean areas using Earth Observation data

Mediterranean

Water/Agriculture

The project aims at the implementation of existing drought, Decision Support methodology for Evapotranspiration in drought System, Mediterranean, management Decision Support System (DSS) using evapotranspiration Earth Observation (EO) data and specifically targeted to agricultural Mediterranean areas under arid and semi-arid conditions. Extend an existing and tested model for evapotranspiration mapping with a model that maps drought risk, specifically adapted to the Mediterranean agricultural conditions, and utilizing the available EO data. Further develop an existing operational tool into a DSS software that implements the above-mentioned model and allows the parameterisation of drought indicators, and apply, test and fine-tune the DSS at the regional scale, considering the users requirements. Project work is mainly about identification of methods and tools to measure the variables involved in drought using remote sensing. Also, find out vulnerability of drought using different remote sensor based earth observations, which will lead for the establishment of observatory for drought. The main objective to the proposal is implement a permanent monitoring system of coastal development in Quintana Roo, through earth observations and periodic aerial photography, with the purpose of gathering current information of hotel and urban constructions and to evaluate coastal land use conversion, in order to develop decision support tools available to the authorities. The overall goal of the project is to develop a geodatabase of floodplain and deltaic resources in order to support better management of these resources in the Lower Mekong Basin and the Lower Ganges Basin. To strengthen donor capacity by taking an existing framework for the development of web based policy support systems (simTerra) and a policy support system built with this framework (AguAAndes) and linking it with GEOSS systems and protocols to make better use of operational remote sensing products in the parameterization and validation of the policy support system. This project aims at generating relevant informations on water extraction and recharge for water managers. Those stakeholders are in close contact with the project team. EO techniques will be mainly interferometry using SAR. Provide a sustainable real time weather information service that is available to farmers and continuously monitor and broadcast water and environmental variables via the GEONETCast application in ILWIS Open. It also focuses on the development of a Weather Information System for Farmers (WISF) via the GEONETCast application developed and broadcasting of the products of WISF as voice messages to Mobile Network. The project is about creating a spatial database for improving water governance needed for planning and improvement of the catchments environmental management to restore the ecosystem health of Weija Dam, and improvement of the water security equation of the Weija Dam as a major urban supply system in Ghana. This project mainly focuses on the collection of in-situ groundwater data. Groundwater is a component of the water cycle that can hardly be monitored using Remote sensing data. This proposal addresses primarily the water and health societal benefit area, the benefits to be realized are cross-cutting and will enhance regional efforts at disaster preparedness and response, as well as agricultural activities. The effort will bring together the available hydrological and observational data and make them available to decision makers. In this project the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC) will implement a hydrological research system designed to create the required infrastructure for a flood forecasting system for Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. This proposal touches on many of the GEO SBAs, while most directly related to Water and Agriculture, will demonstrate how a relatively simple, scalable, transferable and life changing approach to water harvesting can be applied to other regions and developing countries, while empowering the individual farmers and significantly improving their quality of life. Proposal could be replicable in other areas.It is recommended that EO also be used to help quantify and verify the benefits achieved by the project, such as the use of EO to measure crop productivity. EO might also be used as a tool to identify the best time and conditions to tap into the harvested water stores in order to maximize benefits to the crops. The project should be able to attract significant support by any number donor agencies and countries. desertification, drought, Colombia, remote sensing

ChloroGIN-SAFARI project concept

Global

Water/Ecosystem s(Coastal Zones)

The basic concept of project is the foundation of a training centre for Remote Sensing, GIS and model science at Nairobi University and, the generation of a Decision Support System (DSS), which is intended to be a practical tool to manage water resources in Kenya. The proposed project aims to demonstrate the value of EO monitoring to improve decision making related to groundwater management and sustainability in developing nations. 3vG is not seeking direct funding for this proposal and is offering to cover all the costs of processing and analysis of the data. However, it is seeking assistance from GEO to help provide appropriate data (ex: through ESA Category-1) and to identify organizations that would benefit from the information. SAFE (Space Applications For Environment) is voluntary-based initiative in Asia pacific. SAFE aims at encouraging long-term environmental monitoring to grasp environmental change and to mitigate global warming hazards by use of space applications, especially remote sensing technology. This proposal is being put forward by the members of SAFARI, the project for Societal Applications in Fisheries and Aquaculture using Remotely-sensed Imagery (GEO task AG-06-02), its related Earth observation network, ChloroGIN (task EC-09-01c) an international network for inwater and satellite observation of the marine ecosystems and by the inland and coastal waterquality remote sensing working group (task WA-08-02g). Its focus is on enhanced applications of Earth observation data to support decision making for sustainable, and ecosystem-based, management of fisheries resources and monitoring of water quality. The proposal contains elements that are aimed at strengthening activities at regional nodes of the ChloroGIN network in developing countries, for technological developments that would benefit all members, as well as for enhancing the activities of the network as a whole.
