Rainwater harvesting webinar series - Module 3
Mapping the potential of RWH
About Module 3:
There are two webinars available for discussing the potential of rainwater harvesting. The first webinar “Technical and socio-ecological tools and approaches for RWH mapping and upscaling” and the second webinar “Exploring the potential for rainwater harvesting” will assess the potential of RWH practices by examining the different approaches for mapping and upscaling suitable sites for RWH systems, through the utilization of land and water suitability frameworks, remote sensing tools and socio-ecological variables.
Expected outcomes for the participants
Participants will achieve the following outcomes:
- Understand the main approaches and tools available for mapping and upscaling the potential for rainwater harvesting;
- Get an overview of practical applications of rainwater harvesting mapping tools in the MENA region and Western Africa.
