Description: WaPOR Introduction course is an open online course targeting practitioners and academicians who are working in water resources management and related fields and have interest in applying open access remote sensing data and other open data to assess the water resources situation and water productivity and the extent to which water productivity increases have an effect on different water users in a river basin context. The main focus of the course will be on WaPOR data (https://data.apps.fao.org/wapor/?lang=en).

SIDS: integrated management of small island water and marine resources
This open online training course developed with support from FAO is intended to strengthen countries' ability to assess environmental flows (e-flows), implementing an integrated management approach for their land and water resources. E-flows describe the quantity, timing, and quality of freshwater flows and levels necessary to sustain aquatic ecosystems which, in turn, support human cultures, economies, sustainable livelihoods, and well-being. They are explicitly addressed under the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as single national estimates integrated into Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 6.4.2. This “water stress” indicator (SDG 6.4.2) provides an estimate of pressure by all sectors on the country’s renewable freshwater resources. The course is open to anyone interested in the topic of e-flows, but has been designed for staff in relevant national agencies tasked with the monitoring of Indicator SDG 6.4.2 and the sustainable management of water and other natural resources. After this course you will be able to: Describe why securing environmental water requirements is essential to meet SDG Target 6.4 and thereby maintain aquatic ecosystem health and resilience; Explain the key aspects of hydrological, morphological and ecological science underlying e-flows; Compare different methodologies for the assessment of e-flow requirements; and Evaluate which measures to implement e-flows are most suited to your national situation. The course content is divided into four themes. The time to devote to the course is 4 to 6 hours per theme, with a total of 16-24 hours of lessons. Learning modalities include 1) interactive lectures, 2) relevant readings, and 3) exercises. Quizzes (self-assessments) are also available to check your learning progress. A certificate of completion will be issued at the conclusion of the course.RegistrationStep 0.

This course aims to provide a better understanding of the theoretical concepts used to generate remote sensing based data on evapotranspiration and biomass production including their limitations. Specific attention will be given to the WaPOR database and how to do a systematic validation of the data. The course is organised into three modules:Module 1: “Concepts of remote sensing ET (energy balance, FAO-56 PM)” Module 2: “WaPOR database: structure, input data, and methods” Module 3: “Validation of WaPOR database products”A certificate of completion can be obtained after completing all assignments. Target Group: Early and mid-career water professionals with a technical background and a strong interest in new techniques for water use monitoring.Pre-requisites: Preferably a relevant water and/or environmental science (agriculture, remote sensing, geoinformation, geography, or any other relevant) degree; basic working knowledge of spatial data and analysis techniques. Good command of the English language is required.Recommendation to have completed module 1 of the OpenCourseWare on Water Productivity and Water Accounting using WaPOR or the new courses 'Introduction to WaPORv3' before starting this course.Course is available since June 2023

Integrated Water Resources Management requires exchange of data and information among sectors. Often data is stored in files on harddisks, CD-ROMs or DVDs. This makes it hard to find the data. In addition, metadata is often lacking, which makes it hard to evaluate the quality of the data and to reuse the data.
This OpenCourseWare is directed to chemical and environmental engineers and scientists working in the urban or industrial water field and wanting to have a better grasp at the efficient dealing with water. For instance, this course will be of interest to participants who would like to get insights into cleaner production practices in process industries with emphasis in the fields of urban, municipal and industrial sanitation, resource recovery, process design and implementation.
These online seminars are organised on behalf of the River Basin Development chair group, within the Water Resources and Ecosystems department. In these seminars, we welcome some of our international colleagues to present their pioneering research activities and expand over other streamlined education activities carried out in IHE Delft.Keywords: Hydraulic and river engineering; Water and energy infrastructure; climate change, hydrology and geosciences; enabling technologies; natural environment and sustainability
