Improving infrastructure for provision of clean water and sanitation

Effective catchment management is vital for water companies to achieve water quality without having to undertake expensive treatment downstream. The product maps and monitors agricultural land use at field level across a large area to identify hotspots of agricultural pollution polluting the water catchment and predicts future diffuse pollution based on the crop growth cycle and other agricultural uses. It improves management of water abstraction by predicting changes in diffuse pollution based on precipitation and water flow. The solution provides regularly updated Earth observation (EO) based analytics to understand land use and engage with local land owners, meet regulatory compliance, and reduce water treatment costs for effective watershed management.
