CAWa брошюра
CAWa ученые в тесном сотрудничестве с центральноазиатскими партнерскими организациями разработали несколько инструментов, направленных на улучшение управления трансграничными водами.
Это широкий спектр инструментов связанных с управлением водными ресурсами, таких как гидрометеорологические наблюдения в высокогорных районах, мониторинг уровня воды на основе радаров альтиметрия, мониторинг снежного покрова в оперативном режиме, оценка интенсивности использования земли на основе дистанционного зондирование, а также удобные для пользователя алгоритмы прогнозирования сезонных осадков и речного стока. В брошюре дается обзор инструментов CAWa. Заинтересованные пользователи приветствуются!

Региональная научно-исследовательская сеть “Вода в Центральной Азии” - CAWa
Центральная Азия на сегодняшний день сталкивается с острыми проблемами, связанными с водными ресурсами, среди которых - водный дефицит, ухудшение качества воды и неэффективное её использование. Изменение климата может еще более усугубить сложившеесю ситуацию. Эти трудности можно преодолеть только объединив усилия всех центрально-азиатских государств.
Целью проекта CAWa является оказание содействия центрально-азиатским государствам в создании научно обоснованной и достоверной региональной базы данных для разработки устойчивой стратегии управления водными ресурсами.
