With water scarcity affecting more than 40% of the global population according to The World Bank, managing water resources effectively is no longer strategic, but necessary.
A trailblazer in Earth observation and monitoring, CLS aims to foster a sustainable planet by developing decision-support services that are adaptable and complimentary. This week, our experts are on hand at the World Water Forum in Bali, Indonesia. The perfect opportunity to unveil our Water Platform.
This powerful tool leverages 40 years of experience in data integration, processing, and analysis. It provides crucial information such as: surface, depth and flow of water networks but also can be used to forecast future trends. Precise guidance for stakeholders to build resilient territories, addressing challenges in water resource and territorial management, and enhancing sustainability, resilience, and quality of life, both locally and globally.
The Critical Need for Data in Water Resource Management
In a world where the population is rapidly growing and urbanizing, and uncertainties related to climate change and other factors are increasing, relying solely on a single plan for water security through prediction and planning is not feasible. To strengthen water security, we need to focus on building capacity, adaptability, and resilience in how we plan and manage water resources for the future.
Accurate evaluation of global water resources, effective implementation of preservation and restoration efforts, and assessing the success of these initiatives all rely on precise, comprehensive, and ongoing data collection and sharing. Without this, it’s impossible to make informed decisions about managing our water resources sustainably.
