The Challenge
Water quality is essential for human, ecosystem, and economic health. Degradation of water quality can result in human exposure to disease and harmful chemicals, reduction in productivity and diversity of ecosystems and damage to aquaculture, agriculture and other water-related industries.
The Solution
AquaWatch is an Initiative within GEO that aims to develop and build the global capacity and utility of Earth Observation-derived water quality data, products and information to support water resources management and decision-making. The mission of the AquaWatch Initiative is to improve the coordination, delivery and utilization of water quality information for the benefit of society.
