Space Based Technological Applications for Water Management

Conveners: Sivan Isaacson, Dead Sea & Arava Center, & Dr. Shimrit Maman, BGU

Arid zones are of high desertification risk, thus, water monitoring in such regions is crucial. Any change and decrease in the even now sparse and limited water availability in these regions can lead to a considerable impact on the full ecosystem.
Space-based technology (Earth Observation/Remote Sensing) and geospatial data and their applications possess high potential in water management, particularly in arid regions.
This session will address the use of space technologies for various applications with an emphasis on arid regions. Proposed talks should include current and planned projects/research combining space-based data with water related topics such as flash floods, water management, drought monitoring, water quality as well as other social, economic and ecological water sustainability challenges.
