Water is a Grand Challenge

All Projects Need Water Information

Background

The Key is to Have Good Information

Background

Barriers to Water Sharing

Lack of standards

The cost of hardware and software

Lack of personnel trained to manage information systems

Culture of not sharing water information

Dominican Republic Experience

Water Data Sharing

What is being done about it?

AmeriGEOSS

Regional Cooperation that reflects local, national, and regional interests of the GEO country-members for short and long-term planning, development, and Implementation of GEO activities.

This cooperation will be entrenched in the technical capabilities of its country members and in the resources of other global initiatives available for the benefit of the region.

AmeriGEOSS seeks to increase institutional and personal capacity through the acquisition and sharing of technology and training, and engage experts, stakeholders, and decision makers in the process of decision making through cooperation.

Priority Areas of AmeriGEOSS

1. Agriculture, associated with climate variability, climate change, and food security

2. Disaster risk reduction, particularly for data exchange associated with early warnings, and for the generation of regional products of early warnings

3. Water, associated with the management approach of water resources and data management

4. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Monitoring, in the context of capacity building for better monitoring, management, and maintenance of ecosystems and biodiversity they support; and to predict future changes
