INBO WEBINAR From ground to orbit: combining in-situ and satellite monitoring of water to improve basin management

The webinar will take place on 22 April 2025 at 15:00 (CET) via Zoom. It is co-organised by International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO), Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in partnership with National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE).

Indigenous people in the governance of transboundary waters

This online interactive session explores the ways how to better involve indigenous people in the governance of transboundary waters and practical examples of the role of indigenous people in transboundary water management.

The aim of this interactive online session is to explore the ways of the inclusion of indigenous people in the governance of transboundary water resources. The session will provide participants with theoretical approaches and same case examples of how indigenous people have engaged in the governance of transboundary basins from across the globe.

Third International Conference on Water and Climate

Change detection in land cover mapping using remote sensing data over prioritized hydrographic basins of Venezuela

The challenge is to determine changes in watershed coverage in the watersheds prioritized by the Venezuelan Ministry of Water over the past five years, using medium- and high-resolution satellite data to identify the areas of need for response to identified problems and minimize the risk to water reservoirs.

Hydrography90m: A new high-resolution global hydrographic dataset

In tandem with the monumental increase in geo-data availability from remote sensors, field sensors and various publicly available environmental datasets, state-of-the-art geoinformatics algorithms have evolved to harness earth science data as never before. In the field of computational hydrology, these processes have yielded global information in fine detail, and of exceptional precision.
