The Water Data Revolution:  Transforming Transboundary Water Management in Africa 

Posted in : on 3 June 2025

Traditional approaches to collecting water data depend on ground-based methods such as rain gauges and weather and river flow meters. But the quality of monitoring networks has declined, and investment in infrastructure and training has been insufficient. Remote sensing technologies have emerged as powerful tools to address these challenges.
