Democratizing Earth’s data on water resources
Over ons
Global Water Watch, supported by Google.org and the Water, Peace, and Security Partnership, will provide free, globally accessible, near-real-time and high-resolution spatiotemporal information on the amount of water stored in reservoirs and the water level and flow in major river systems. World Resources Institute, Deltares and World Wildlife Fund are partnering to create this data platform, which will house information on thousands of global reservoirs and major river systems. The platform uses Earth Observation (EO) algorithms, satellite data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and machine learning to map dams and produce high-resolution spatiotemporal and granular (10m) information on the amount of water stored in reservoirs as well as water level and flow information in major river systems in near-real-time. This data will help decision-makers respond quickly to extreme weather events, manage growing risks of climate change, make societies more climate resilient and preserve and restore our vital ecosystems and the many services they provide. National and subnational governments can use the data to manage water resources more sustainably, efficiently and equitably. Making this information publicly accessible will hold governments accountable for proper water stewardship and uncover water resource conditions in upstream states and nations, who may be reluctant to share data with downstream neighbors.

Global Water Watch heeft dit gerepost
Last Tuesday is was happy to present to a group of computational scientists during the #DUCOMS day about water observation and forecasting systems moving from local to global scale and what this means for mandated entities. I noted that consolidating #local #knowledge and #data in such systems will be key to make them useful and have them play a significant role in the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) #Early #Warning for all initiative. This presentation was my last act for Deltares, and my first as Director of Rainbow Sensing. Over the past 15 years, I have had the pleasure to work with many inspiring colleagues on scientific questions and societal applications that help people decide how to manage their water. Examples are the World Resources Institute #Aqueduct platform, Global Water Watch, developed with WWF and World Resources Institute, #HydroMT model building and the The World Bank Group Tanzania Urban Resilience Program. Deltares will remain close to me and I sincerely hope to keep collaborating with my colleagues. In the coming years I will facilitate locally sustainable water observations through co-development and contextualization of technological opportunities, making water sensing affordable, robust and context aware for both low and high income countries. Local people should be able to measure with locally sustainable devices and open knowledge. In the first period, I will strongly focus on development of #OpenRiverCam, the first fully #opensource and #free software platform for camera-based river monitoring. I look forward to many new collaborations with photrack AG, Delft University of Technology, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, GroundTruth, M2sat, Oregon State University and more.
