#DYK that Port de la Selva, a Spanish coastal town, faced #water supply #issues due to a #populationsurge this Summer. To address this, the town implemented advanced data analysis tools and a Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) system to #recycle #wastewater and #recharge #groundwater aquifers. Recycling wastewater through an SAT can be a viable solution to increase water supply and mitigate seawater intrusion. Check out this insightful #EuropeanCommission article highlighting how data analysis tools and other #digitaltechnologies can help coastal communities #improve their #waterquality and #watermanagement #systems.

Book introduction: GIS for Water Resource and Watershed Management John G. Lyon The use of GIS, and its application for solving environmental problems is growing rapidly. This powerful set of tools can be used to great effect in hydrological modeling, environment and habitat assessments, ecosystem studies, monitoring of wetlands and forested watersheds, urban studies, agricultural impact assessment and much more. GIS for Watershed and Water Resource Management explains the fundamentals, demonstrates new approaches, techniques and methods, and provides examples of real applications. It presents the basic concepts, and shows how to acquire the critical information needed to plan and implement GIS studies, and develop practical solutions for environmental management and problem solving. 298 pages, Hardcover First published October 1, 2002

🌍 Calculating Soil Loss for Effective Restoration: Introducing the New RUSLE Tool in the GEO-LDN Toolbox! 🌱 At GEO LDN, we're always on the lookout for innovative tools to improve land monitoring and reporting. Thanks to the Regional Center for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), we’ve discovered a powerful tool: the IMPACT Toolbox, developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. This open-source tool is a game changer for sustainable land management! One standout feature is the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), a key module for estimating annual soil loss in catchment areas. Integrated into the GEO-LDN Toolbox, RUSLE helps pinpoint erosion hotspots and for developing strategies to reduce soil loss. It’s a valuable asset for improving the accuracy of environmental reporting at national, regional, and local levels. Curious to try it out? The tool is free and easy to use—making soil erosion monitoring more accessible than ever. Share your experiences with us! 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dpdcSGtz Special thanks to RCMRD for this amazing find! #GEOLDN #JRC #EuropeanCommission #RCMRD #SoilLoss #LandDegradation #SDG1531 #SustainableLandManagement #SoilErosion

Water with Will Groundwater is invaluable and, for most stakeholders, "invisible." This is worth reading as it should shape the national water strategy. I don't know how much traction this will have going forward. However, some initiatives are currently executing on several of these recommendations. "Recommendation 1. Accelerate the development of a comprehensive repository for data and toolkits for groundwater storage, withdrawal, and recharge at spatial and temporal scales useful for water managers and users." A game-changing initiative tackling this first recommendation is #WaterUnited for the Colorado River Basin. A catalytic community that is building a digital database and AI model for the Colorado River Basin. Kudos to FIDO Tech, Microsoft, Oldcastle APG, PepsiCo, and others for being bold enough to build and scale this catalytic community to solve the water challenges facing the Colorado River. #catalyticcommunities #waterscarcity #coloradoriverbasin #AI #climatechange Victoria Edwards Eliza Roberts Paulina Concha Larrauri David Grant Chris Fortunato Jared Sheehan Taylor Cox Sonya Bengali Garrett Kephart Jonathan Castrodale Stefanie Woodward John Cook (he/him) Kendall Vanderhoof Michael Gulich, AIA, LEED AP, LFA Virginia Newton-Lewis, PhD Chase Kania Kat Hunt Newsha Ajami, PhD James Eklund Imran Jaferey Camillus Fitzpatrick Polly Blythe Holly Cook

🗺️ Dive into the critical world of California groundwater management this #MappyMonday! 🌍 Did you know maps are pivotal in implementing California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)? This visual tool helps prioritize groundwater basins across the state, guiding sustainable water use and protection for future generations. The attached map highlights SGMA’s 2019 Basin Prioritization, classifying basins into High, Medium, Low, and Very Low priority. These classifications consider factors such as water demand, population reliance, and environmental concerns. Basins in red-striped areas, for example, demand the most attention due to their critical role in water resources. 🛰️ Why does this matter? Maps like these empower decision-makers and communities by providing a clear picture of where sustainable groundwater management is most urgently needed. They are vital for compliance, resource planning, and ensuring a resilient water future in California. #GIS #SGMA #groundwatermanagement #GeospatialAnalysis #SustainableWater #mappingforimpact

Award winning research by Maria Montijn on adaptation pathways, which offers a promising approach to develop flood risk reduction strategies that can adapt to changing circumstances. Read the new article “A new method to economically evaluate adaptation pathways”. https://lnkd.in/erxBNxfq   This article is published in the spring issue of IADC’s scientific journal Terra et Aqua. Articles in Terra et Aqua investigate and explain the latest innovations relevant in the dredging industry and its related sectors. This article will be of interest to those involved dredging activities, engineering and waterborne transport infrastructure, working as an engineer, research scientist or environmental engineer, etc.   #dredging #iadc #terraetaqua #adaptation pathways #floodrisk #climatechange #economicevaluation #statistics #data
