NBI Training course on RS-GIS-Models
Project: NBI Training course on RS-GIS-Models
Client: Nile Basin Initiative
Partners: WaterWatch
Period: 2008
Aim: To provide training on advanced tools in water resources management with special focus on remote sensing, geographic information systems and simulation models.
Summary
The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) Efficient Water Use for Agricultural Production (EWUAP) project is designed to be a first step in bringing together regional and national stakeholders to develop a common shared vision on increased availability and efficient use of water for agricultural production.
Several common technical, institutional, environmental, and socio-economic concerns have been raised by the Nile Basin Countries about the performance of public and private-managed irrigation systems. Many of the countries have started, individually, tackling these issues. Experiences in the basin and other parts of the world have shown that improved water management in these systems would result in significant amount of water saving and increased productivity.
To support the participants in the nine Nile Basin countries a two week training course was organized. The overall objective of the training was to equip selected NBI stakeholders with skills of GIS, Remote Sensing and simulation modes on irrigation performance and improvement.
