Synopsis (short abstract) The case study illuminates the diverse advantages stemming from the strategic utilization of GIS and remote sensing in water harvesting. These technologies empowered precise decision-making, resulting in expanded agricultural productivity across 26 hectares and effective disaster mitigation strategies. Additionally, they fostered sustainable practices such as agroforestry, culminating in an elevated commitment of Ngunga community to environmental stewardship. Ultimately, this fusion of technologies significantly strengthened community resilience, bringing in comprehensive socio-economic development

Remote Sensing-Based Agricultural Water Accounting (AWA) for the North Jordan Valley 2022

Also available in:

No results found.

The reader will have the chance to know more about the agricultural water accounting (AWA) activity, which was implemented in three cycles that included rapid assessment, detailed mapping and implementation of new techniques to assess water use and efficiency in the North Jordan Valley (NVJ). In these cycles, consolidated procedures have been applied to complement and validate open source data from earth observation systems (EOS) and the open source portal (WaPOR) of the Food and Agricultural Organization. The overall aim of the work was to provide assessment for agricultural water use in NJV and to provide solutions for water deficiency. The ultimate goal of the work was to institutionalize the water accounting (WA) systems at the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, so that open source data and WA tools would be fully utilized for water management in Jordan.
