Investing in Digital Hydrometeorological Data for the Developing World
Addressing many of the global challenges facing humankind requires the availability, access, and use of huge volumes of digital hydrometeorological (hereafter “hydromet”) data needed to inform decision-making to save lives and infrastructure as well as to exploit the associated economic opportunities. The global challenges include the world’s increasing vulnerability to weather, climate, and water stresses, and they are especially acute in developing countries. This technical note outlines the opportunities and requirements for developing countries to be able to benefit from the digital hydromet data revolution.

Summary: | Addressing many of the global
challenges facing humankind requires the availability,
access, and use of huge volumes of digital
hydrometeorological (hereafter “hydromet”) data needed to
inform decision-making to save lives and infrastructure as
well as to exploit the associated economic opportunities.
The global challenges include the world’s increasing
vulnerability to weather, climate, and water stresses, and
they are especially acute in developing countries. This
technical note outlines the opportunities and requirements
for developing countries to be able to benefit from the
digital hydromet data revolution. |
