2 AGENDA Objectives / Background The Water Observation and Information System - WOIS WOIS Products Project Implementation One-Stop-Water Observation Shop 2

3 Objectives / Background OBJECTIVES ESA launched TIGER-NET as part of the TIGER initiative to develop and demonstrate a African, user-driven WOIS to exploit the observations of current and future EO satellite systems Specifications and development in direct collaboration with African Water authorities corresponding to information needs for Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) Enable more comprehensive observational capacity through generation of multi-source integration platform 3

4 Objectives / Background AIMS Development of Water Observation and Information System (WOIS) for monitoring, assessing and inventorying water resources in a cost-effective manner by satellite observation, with focus on operational Sentinel data. Implementation, capacity building and training of African water authorities to fully exploit the observation capacity offered. 4

5 CHAMPION USER ORGANIZATIONS 1 st project Cycle ( ) Objectives / Background Nile Basin Initiative Lake Chad Basin Commission Volta Basin Authority Department of Water Affairs, South Africa Department of Water Affairs, Namibia 2nd project Cycle ( ) Existing cycle 1 Users Department of Water Affairs, Zambia METTELSAT, DRC* Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM)* 5

6 THE APPROACH Objectives / Background Intensive user consolidation in terms of Analysis of existing Capacities, Application/Operational Use and specific System Requirements Iterative Implementation Process: Definition > Testing > Validation > Selection > Development > Installation > Training > Demonstration Productions & Validation > Training > Adaption for operational usage > Expert Training x 2 (Apr.12-Mar.15) 6

7 Introduction / Background USER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Cost and license free Open Source Easy transferable Easy to operate Capable of retrieving, storing and processing EO satellite data as well as integrate in-situ data producing EO based water related information products integrating hydrologcial modeling functions supporting decisions based on full GIS framework mapping and reporting functionality integrating and linking to existing user systems scaling up for future applications and demands 7

8 Introduction / Background USER APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS Earth Observation Capacity to support/enable following applications: High to medium land cover, change and degradation mapping (incl. vegetation indices) Water body mapping (small/large, shoreline changes, wetlands) Water quality monitoring (lake surface temperature, chlorophyll and sediment load) Hydrological monitoring (precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, water level) Hydrological modelling (scenario analysis and operational forecasting) Flood monitoring, historical and vulnerability assessment Erosion potential mapping Urban sanitation planning support GIS Mapping basedata collection with read-to-map templates Product Scales 8

9 USER REQUIREMENT End-to-end capacity Eg.
