Abstract The goal in this commentary is to share the development of NASA Applied Science pre‐launch protocol called Early Adopter Program (EAP) that designed build user‐readiness planned satellite Earth observing missions proactively and before launch . Here we focus particular on Surface Water Ocean Topography mission EAP as an illustration benefits such a program proactive sustained user community engagement. Such will be value other observation are currently service, scheduled for or...
We studied variations in the volume of water stored small lakes and wetlands using satellite remote sensing lake height data contributed by citizen scientists. A total 94 bodies across globe were optical microwave wavelengths from Landsat 8, Sentinel-1 Sentinel-2. The uncertainty estimation as a function geography geophysical factors such cloud cover, precipitation surface temperature, was studied. key finding that emerged this global study is highest regions with distinct season monsoon...

Irrigation and efficient water usage by farmers remain key agricultural problems in Pakistan. Technological approaches to management specifically irrigation using cloud technology is a recent innovation currently being trialed Pakistan through project conducted the authors funded Australian Centre for International Research. The paper reports on perceptions of rural agents involved scaling out new technologies improve practices large number farmers. methodology adopted use focus groups with...
In South Asian countries, water demand in agriculture is the resultant of multiple cropping patterns.The seasons, Kharif (summer cropping) and Rabi (winter are dependent upon rainfall at beginning season [8].In case Pakistan, Indus Basin Irrigation System groundwater
Northern Punjab region of Pakistan, known as Potohar comprises 2.26 (Million Hectre) rich land with mean annual rainfall varying from 400 mm to 1400 that has high runoff potential. Climate this is affected by variation in frequency, flash floods and long dry periods. The increasing gap water supply demand put huge stress on already scarce resources. Considering the potential rainwater harvesting Potohar, Government been subsidizing projects since 1980's. Given historical uncertainties...
Pakistan is an arid country where rainfall varies from less than 100 mm to over 1000 mm.Out of the 30 Mha culturable land, 12 (40%) rainfed livelihood entirely depends on rainwater [3].Rainwater harvesting, management and its use a common practice for drinking farming, either directly tapping runoff or storing it in surface subsurface reservoirs [4].Many studies have reported harvesting as potential decentralized storage option (human livestock), supplemental irrigation climate change...
Small and medium-scale farmers in Pakistan own 48% of irrigated agricultural land. This sector, which is the foundation rural economy, highly vulnerable to increasing costs inputs, competition for water, climate variability. research introduced combined management two key inputs viz. irrigation nutrient by using Virtual Irrigation Academy (VIA) tools, i.e. , Chameleon moisture sensors Wetting Front Detector. Over 200 small-medium scale across 49 villages 6 districts were engaged farmer-led...
