IGCP 565 Project Workshops

Synopsis of Workshop 5 (2012): Improving regional water management in Africa and Asia on the basis of geodetic water cycle monitoring

The Fifth IGCP 565 Workshop will bring together representatives of regional water management authorities and representatives of the research and observation communities involved in the project activities with the goal to assess the requirements of regional water management, in particular in developing countries, in terms of products derived from space-geodetic observations and the associated models. The goal is to define a set of products in terms of parameter, spatial and temporal resolution, accuracy, and latency, which can be made available in support of regional water management. The Workshop summary report will be an important input for the work in GEO, GGOS, CEOS and other relevant providers of data and information products.
