Satellite Earth Observations in Support of the SDGs
WaPOR data used to illustrate the ways in which Earth Observations can be used to further goal 6 of the SDG: clean to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation. Data from WaPOR was used to derive actual evapotranspiration in the context of the hydrological monitoring of the f hydrological monitoring of the Zambezi river basin.
Type: Case study
Location: Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe
Application: Assessing/monitoring water resources
Layers used: AETI (Actual Evapotranspiration and Interception)
Scale used: 250m
Organization/institution: European Space Agency
Language: English

Atlas of Land Cover Maps: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco & Tunisia
WaPOR data was used to derive a rough land cover description of the countries in Northern Africa. AGBP and NPP were used as proxy to show the spatial distribution of areas whith higher potential for carbon
Type: Case study
Location: Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Tunisia
Application: Understanding spatial variability of water-related and plant activity-related variables
Layers used: AGBP (Above Ground Biomass Production) [no longer offered], NPP (Net Primary Production)
Scale used: 250m

Atlas of Land Cover Maps: Sahel and West Africa
WaPOR data was used to derive a rough land cover description of the countries of the Sahel. TBP and NPP were used as proxies to show the spatial distribution of forested areas in the Sahel.

Rwanda Natural Capital Accounts: Water
WaPOR evapotranspiration data was used to cross-check and complement the AETI data that was compiled by the Rwanda Meteo Agency. The in-situ data had to be estimated because of the poor distribution of stations for data collection across the country and derived from evaporation data using mathematical equations.
Type: Case study
Location: Rwanda
Application: Assessing/monitoring water resources
Layers used: AETI (Actual Evapotranspiration and Interception)
Scale used: 100m
