| Description: | This project invistigates the present state of global freshwater management and how space is currently utilized. The project methodology employs an interdisciplinary approach to identifying and assessing best practices from the space community which have a significant potential to contribute to the management of shared resources. Assessment of the effectiveness of implementing these practices is performed via a range of methods. Combinations of these best practices are then used to produce interdisciplinary recommendations for managing specific scenarios that arise as part of conflict over water sharing. These recommendations include the use of scientific and engineering applications from the space community, examples of management models as well as legal and political frameworks for cooperation, and methods of outreach for further increasing knowledge transfer between the water and space communities. |
