Report back for Group 1 Chair: Abou Ali Rapporteur: Lerato Senoko
What data, what level, which users • Different basins have different needs and are at different levels of development • Decision makers, scientists, citizens
Basic data needs/infrastructure • Flood monitoring/prediction system • Climate change (long term forecast systems) • In-situ data • Historical data • Models • Imagery • Mobile systems • Spatial data • Communication infrastructure
Data Sharing • Data sharing between countries • National data policies • Mobile systems to share data and products and services within the basin • Dissemination strategies on data (in situ) • The member state to understand what they get out of the collaboration. • Each organisation identified for the demonstration should provide its data
Partnerships • Space agencies • Meteorological services (national and global) • Member states representative on the basin • Regional organisations working and/or mandated to work on river basins by member states. • Member states organisations that will participate
Capacity building • Promote data sharing in workshops • Scientists to manipulate data and generate products and services (joint training) • Better coordination mechanisms nationally and between scientists. • Better communication of the benefits of the systems to decision makers/products and systems useful for decision maker (incl. basin authorities).
Way forward • Focus on demonstration project • Provide all data available/needed for the demo project • Demonstrate the benefits from data sharing, joint capacity building, products and coordinated communication strategies. This will stimulate national response to this initiative
Road map • Build capacity of scientists to use the data • Better national coordination • Raw data • (in-situ), imagery, • Products and services • Spatial data • Historical data • Dissemination systems and strategies • Communication systems RIVER BASIN • Partnerships • Space agencies • Meteorological services (national and global) • Member states • Regional organisations • Other agencies • Data sharing Long term forecast system
