Has it happened to you that you start investigating the water situation of a catchment and very quickly you realise that there is so much information that you just do not have the time to follow everything, or perhaps it is difficult to grasp the catchment overview for organising a strategic water planning? - The Water Intelligence service refers to a geographic snapshot and strategic summary of the water situation in the catchment(s) and provides a matrix of opportunities in relation to the commodity of interest.

 

 

In June 2018, the citrus farm Iberesparragal, in Spain, achieved the first gold certification under the AWS standard in Europe and one of the first ones in the agricultural sector worldwide.

As a component of GSI's project with the Alliance for Water Stewardship, we supported the whole implementation process at Iberesparragal by applying the WaterData4Action approach. The result is a practical case study from which different achievements and learnings can be extracted.

BLUE-THUMB-UP is an Online free web tool that provides easy access to information to improve productivity and sustainability of water use in farms at any location in the world.

We have developed BLUE-THUMB-UP to show that global data, models and field level information can be combined in a web-platform to provide advice to farmers on the water needs of their crops and if irrigation is required.
