| Title | WaPOR |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Achieving Food Security in the future while using water resources in a sustainable manner is a major challenge for us and the next generations. Agriculture being a key water user, a careful monitoring of water productivity in this sector and exploring opportunities to increase it are required. The WaPOR portal provides publicly accessible, near real-time data to monitor agricultural water productivity, using innovative satellite technology. |
