The main objectives of the Aquifer project were:
Main products developed and demonstrated were:
AQUIFER demonstrated to the Users that despite the fact that groundwater resources are buried more than one kilometre below the surface, observations of the earth surface from space could provide useful information on this resource. National authorities and international institutions in aquifer management were supported though tailored and GIS-compatible demonstration products and services thereby facilitating their uptake in daily work- operation. Based on the successful results of the project an extension and expansion of the AQUIFER project, GEO-AQUIFER, was funded by the African Development Bank. |
