SUMMARY:International Water Association (IWA) Webinar on Earth Observation technologies for water quality management
DESCRIPTION:The International Water Association Webinar on Earth Observation technologies for water quality management\, featuring GEO AquaWatch Director Steve Greb and GEO AquaWatch Management Team member Blake Schaeffer\,  is taking place on 21st July 2021 at 15:00 CEST.    \nDESCRIPTION \nAcross various parts of the water sector – from water treatment plants to hydropower to aquaculture – preparing and adapting to risks in a planned manner is far more efficient than reacting to a major system failure. For this reason\, having the tools and capability to predict and respond in advance to potential water quality (and quantity) risks can improve environmental performance while lowering costs. \nIn this framework\, there is great potential in the application of Earth Observation (EO) technologies in the water sector. EO technology combined with the modeling of highly complex\, dynamic systems can provide monitoring and forecasting information of water quality and quantity. This information can guide water professionals in making quick and data-informed decisions\, achieve regulatory compliance at a low cost\, and improve the day-to-day performance of operations. \nThis webinar will explore how EO technology is being applied across the water sector to better manage water quality issues such as algal blooms and turbidity. \nLearning Objectives\nFollowing this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nGain perspectives on the application of EO technologies in water quality management in different parts of the water sector.\nRecognize how EO technologies can be integrated into existing decision support systems to help prepare and respond to water quality hazards\nNavigate and access groups to engage further on this topic (e.g. GEO AquaWatch\, PrimeWater H2020 EU project).\n\nHost\nInternational Water Association \nPanelists\n\nErin Urquhart PACE Applications Coordinator at NASA GSFC (Webinar Chair)\nSteve Greb Associate fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Aquatic Sciences Center and GEOAquaWatch Director\nApostolos Tzimas Managing Director at EMVIS Consultant Engineers and International coordinator of EU H2020 project PrimeWater\nMaria Antonietta Dessena Geologist at Ente Acque della Sardegna (ENAS)\nBlake Schaeffer Research Scientist at US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\n\nRegistration is required.
