  1. Brazil remote sensing applications in water resources management and irrigation • THE CLIENT • SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS Erwin De Nys Feb 29, 2012.

  2. OURCLIENTS • At federal and state level • Water agencies: ANA and state agencies • Regional development agency: CODEVASF (irrigation) • Ministries involved in WRM • A particular focus on semi-arid Northeast Brazil (drought and floods) and south-east • Growing attention to planning and management of water resources (quantity and quality) • Strong institutional collaboration with meteorological agencies, universities etc. • Bank support towards integration of water sub-sectors

  3. Brazil • Federative Republic • 26 States • 1 Federal District • 5,564 Municipalities • 8,514,877 km2 • 12 % of the world water availability • 12 hydrographic regions • 192 million inhabitants

  4. APPLICATIONS WRM • Ceará state: strong institutional framework • Reducing vulnerability to flood hazards • Drought: water rights enforcement and allocation • Eutrophication of water bodies • Drought indices and insurance mechanisms • Land degradation and impact on hydrology •  high operational, institutional and socio-economic impact

  6. APPLICATIONS IRRIGATION • Irrigation development in São Francisco River Basin • Satellite imagery to support complex multi-disciplinary work (I&D, WSS, environment, infrastructure and social services) • Hydraulic modeling • Territorial planning within irrigation schemes • Cadastre of irrigation users • CODEVASF and water users’ associations
