Enfocat will develop advanced technological solutions to monitor surface water using Earth Observation soil moisture data, addressing key challenges in agriculture and forest management.
In agriculture, these solutions will enable precise estimation and forecasting of irrigation water use, facilitating strategic adjustments in water management to optimize resources efficiently.
For forest management, the developed tools will monitor water stress, helping to reduce tree water consumption while enhancing their carbon storage capacity.
isardSAT will leverage state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies to monitor soil moisture. It will develop and validate innovative algorithms for Soil Moisture and Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) monitoring while leading the development of forest monitoring tools.
