| Description: | Space Technologies for the Research of Effective wAter Management, with the case study of the Murray Darling-basin in Australia. Meeting the future needs of freshwater on the planet relies on a better understanding the global water cycle and on a properly managed water distribution. With expert support from a number of organizations in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Russia, UK and the USA, the study examines the benefits of using space-based remote sensing technologies for freshwater resource management, and demonstrates that the resolution of the growing freshwater resource problems requires a multidisciplinary approach covering policies and management, legal structures as well as advanced technologies. The report recommends that soil moisture data, as an important factor in water management, be integrated in a hybrid system of space, air borne and ground measurements. It is anticipated that the Murray-Darling case study will be an example of interest for decision makers in other parts of the world that are facing growing problems of freshwater resources. |
