This report presents the activities and
outcomes to date of the global initiative on remote sensing
for water resources management phase two. The Initiative was
conceived to help mainstream the use of beneficial remote
sensing applications in operational projects of the Bank, as
well as to facilitate the adoption of remote sensing
applications in World Bank client countries. By bridging the
gap between the supply of remote sensing data and the needs
from the Bank’s operational projects, Earth Observations can
better inform client country agencies by improving
monitoring and predictive capabilities and supporting better
water-related operations. This report is addressed to
technical staff in national water agencies, project leads
from development and financing institutions, and water
practitioners in general. The goal of the report is to
present insights from a range of innovative remote sensing
applications developed within the Remote Sensing Initiative,
to help address specific water resources management
challenges. The results presented here include constraints
identified in the adoption of remote sensing, the approaches
adopted to make applications functional in different
contexts, the project applications themselves, insights on
their sustainability, and ways forward. These applications
can be replicated, up-scaled, and adapted in many other
contexts to address similar challenges. We hope the
information contained in this report will help country
agencies and project teams in integrating the use of remote
sensing in their water resources management practices, as
well as in project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. |
