Climate Resilience in South Asia

Integrated Water Resources Management

In most countries, climate change leads to both an increased flood risk and prevalence of drought. Basic systems for watershed protection, water management, flood management will be required to make countries and communities more resilient.

Specific areas:

    • Crop Water Requirement and Water Quota Allocation Tool
    • Use of satellite data for water resource observation and management
    • Water accounting systems:  Using AI and state-of-the-art technologies to obtain robust estimates of water use.
    • Smart water allocation system at watershed scale / river basin scale
    • Use of Latest Remote Sensing (RS) Technology to measure Evapotranspiration.
    • Solutions enhancing integration of social and economic components of the IWRM.
    • Reduction of chemical contamination by promotion of chemical and insecticide-free agriculture practices
