New Avenues for Remote Sensing Applications for Water Management
Water management agencies in many parts of the world are currently missing big opportunities to increase their capacity to monitor water resources. This report presents a range of remote sensing applications to support water resources management and decision-making, and discusses implementation approaches and their sustainability going forward. These were developed within the second phase of the global initiative on remote sensing for water resources management, conceived to help mainstream beneficial remote sensing uses in operational projects of the Bank, and to facilitate the adoption in World Bank client countries. This report is addressed to water practitioners in general, technical staff in national water agencies, and project leads from development and financing institutions. The goal of the report is to present insights from innovative remote sensing applications to help address specific water resources management challenges. The results presented include constraints identified in the adoption of remote sensing, the approaches adopted to make applications functional in different contexts, the project applications themselves, insights on their sustainability, and ways forward.

| Summary: | Water management agencies in many parts
of the world are currently missing big opportunities to
increase their capacity to monitor water resources. This
report presents a range of remote sensing applications to
support water resources management and decision-making, and
discusses implementation approaches and their sustainability
going forward. These were developed within the second phase
of the global initiative on remote sensing for water
resources management, conceived to help mainstream
beneficial remote sensing uses in operational projects of
the Bank, and to facilitate the adoption in World Bank
client countries. This report is addressed to water
practitioners in general, technical staff in national water
agencies, and project leads from development and financing
institutions. The goal of the report is to present insights
from innovative remote sensing applications to help address
specific water resources management challenges. The results
presented include constraints identified in the adoption of
remote sensing, the approaches adopted to make applications
functional in different contexts, the project applications
themselves, insights on their sustainability, and ways forward. |
