Water as a sustainable resource

NM3 Tech

Innovative environmental sensing and monitoring solutions powered by IoT and big data analytics for water quality with industry applications in wastewater monitoring, groundwater monitoring, wastewater-based epidemiology, micro-invertebrate detection, and rapid microbial detection

NexusBit

Contactless Water Quality Sensors which monitors parameters like turbidity and algae concentration from above the water bodies. This sensor system enables simple and low-maintenance site deployment, and revolutionizing water quality monitoring methods like measurement directly from aerial drones and from bridges or structures.

EnvironSens

World’s first of its kind AI-enabled and IoT integrated I2BioS (Intelligent Integrated BioSensor System) system for real-time water quality monitoring of heavy metals in sewer networks and water resources

Multi-scale integrated river basin management program

Multi-scale integrated river basin management program


Ten large Asian river basins (the Amu Darya, Indus, Tarim, Ganges, Brahmaputra, Irrawaddy, Salween, Mekong, Yangtze, and Yellow) originate in the Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) region. They supply water to more than 1.3 billion people, a fifth of the world’s population, providing the means for food and energy production, livelihoods and a range of other crucial social and environmental services.

Assessing the Benefits and Costs of Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilience: A Guideline for Project Developers

Submitted by cvilla.consult… on Fri, 06/09/2023 - 12:56

This document aims to guide the design, implementation, and use of studies to value the benefits and costs of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for climate resilience projects. Reliable quantification of the costs and benefits of NBS for climate resilience can facilitate further mainstreaming of these interventions by articulating the value proposition of NBS across sectors, improve impact evaluation, and for identifying additional funding and financing for projects.

Locking Carbon in Wetlands: Enhancing Climate Action by Including Wetlands in NDCs

Submitted by cvilla.consult… on Fri, 02/03/2023 - 13:04

AGWA, together with Wetlands International, has published the report with three goals in mind: 1) to illustrate the scientific rationale behind the use of wetlands as a climate mitigation tool; 2) to demonstrate the prevalence and function of wetlands across landscapes and geographies; and 3) to provide a set of clear policy recommendations that will enable Parties to the UNFCCC to conserve, restore and wisely use wetlands by incorporating them into their climate mitigation plans.
