FutureWater has hosted the first online webinar on new Tailor Made Training for the technical staff of the Rwanda Water Resources Board (RWB) on Water Allocation Modelling and Remote Sensing Analysis.

20 participants from RWB are anticipated to work with the Water Evaluation And Planning model WEAP and the Remote Sensing platform of Google Earth Engine (GEE), state of the art technologies that are excellent for Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

“The training aims at building and enhancing capabilities of the participants in environmental and hydrological monitoring and modelling and is funded by the Orange Knowledge Program of Nuffic,” Bernard explains Musana Segatagara RWB’s Head of Knowledge and Forecasting Hub Department

Besides, the training will yield the participants with valuable and necessary knowledge on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and it will provide the participants with relevant hands-on experience and cutting-edge knowledge on innovative solutions in water allocation modelling and earth observation technologies.

Knowledge explored will help in different water resources management areas such as assessment of the supply and demand of water for different stakeholders in Rwanda, assessment of measures to increase water efficiency in agriculture, assessment of the water balance of specific areas or in specific periods, assessment of flood extents, among others.

During this virtual training, eLearning platform FutureWater Moodle School will be used due to prevention of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic.
