A Shrewsbury-based environmental consultancy has been awarded more than £40,000 from the UK Space Agency to explore how satellite technology can help water resource management and disaster mitigation.
Geosmart Information will receive £42,544 and is one of 10 organisations to win funding to produce forecasts and models that can be used by sectors including agriculture, energy, finance and insurance.
“Water is a critical resource that is in high demand, and in the future pressures on our water supply will increase through growing populations and the impacts of climate change. Remotely sensed soil moisture data can provide significant advances in addressing water resource challenges and it can greatly improve the accuracy, resilience and coverage of flood and drought forecasting systems across the world.
