[UArizonalogo
• Purpose– Part of the initiative of the WB Water Partnership Program (WPP) dedicated
to inform the use of remote sensing technology in the water resources decision-making processes when advantageous and/or facing in-situ data constraints.
• Audience – World Bank staff– Biophysical science and social scientists related to water management
• Goals:– Review the current use of EO for water related issues– Describe the current state of the art of water related EO– Suggest the likely near-future (10 y) developments – Provide recommendations to the WPP

Box 1: Guiding Questions to Aid in the Decision Whether to Use EO for WRM
1. Define the nature of the WRM problem What WRM questions need to be answered? What are the policy and or regulatory drivers of these
questions? Who are the stakeholders and beneficiaries of a solution to
the WRM problem? 2. Explore the capacity of sustaining and maintaining WRM
decision support and monitoring programs Local capability? Training needs? Local and international resources required?
3. Define the status of existing data and observation networks What metering is currently available? What is the condition of the data networks? Are there any impediments to sharing, collating, archiving
the data (e.g., transboundary issues)? What, if anything, has been done in the past to address the
issues at hand? Any monitoring? Modelling?
4. Evaluate adequacy of filed observations Well defined? Spatial density, frequency, continuity and period of
interest? Accuracy, and availability?

Suggestion: Should GEO make a “guide-decision tree “ for statistical organisations (once final indicators are established) on the use of earth observation information for UN SDG indicators?
• SDG indicator to be reported on• Institutions & relevant stakeholders• Conditions of data network, data sharing, existing monitoring and
models, etc.• Adequacy of field observations• EO potential use• EO product suitability:• Spatial resolution• Temporal resolution (revisit frequency)• Record length• In situ data requirements• Reliability• Accuracy• Maturity• Complexity

Example : Ambient Water Quality
• A Proposed indicator: P and N concentrations as a measure of eutrophication.
• We proposed that this will be hard to measure in over 10’s millions water bodies across their length and width globally.
• Another indicator of eutrophication can be increased turbidity due to phytoplankton growth and in hypertrophic circumstances algal blooms (other indicators exist too around macrophytes etc.)
• Turbidity, Secchi Disk Transparency, Vertical Attenuation of Light, Total Suspended Matter, Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter and Chlorophyll and Cyanobacterial pigment concentrations can already be measured from space.========== logical solution for assessing ambient water quality!

Future Data Access and Analysis Architectures
16 |
• World is moving to better integration of multiple data sources & models
• Lack of access to vital EO data, especially in less developed countries, hampers global actions and treaties on climate change, loss of biodiversity, food security, water scarcity, disaster response, etc..
• Available EO archives at agencies are getting too bigNew Paradigm & Opportunities:• “Bring users (& tools) to the data”• Greater potential to integrate remote sensing, in-situ and
modelled data and services for GEO.• Potential to have a sustainable approach to data archiving –
critical to defensible information on contentious topics.• Create new platforms that can make collaboration easier,
whether between companies, researchers or agencies

Some (already identified) applications for the EO based Australian Geoscience Data Cube:
• Vegetation change, agricultural production• Flood inundation mapping, farm dam development• Groundwater dependent ecosystems• Wetland management and characterisation• Carbon accounting• Seagrass, macro-algae and substrate mapping• Coastal change and water quality• Shallow water bathymetry• Mining footprint and urban development• Bushfire scar mapping and forestry inventory• Location-specific products for mobile platforms
• “Map my paddock”
