The use of EO data for monitoring water resources is increasingly being recognized and accepted as a viable source of information for practitioners and decision-makers. Through the lens of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 and specific use case studies, the WorldWater project will demonstrate how global coverage EO data can be used to systematically and accurately measure inland surface water resources. WorldWater will complement existing EO initiatives and projects, such as Global Surface Water Explorer and the Copernicus global land service, by further developing EO tools and products. The aim is to effectively use the most up to date, open and free satellite data, primarily from the Sentinel missions, for improved monitoring of the world’s inland water resources in both their extent and volume.
