This webinar was organised by the Earth Observation (EO) for Water Management Community of Practice, a subgroup of the IWA Digital Water Programme.  

The digital transformation of the water sector is well underway and making great strides in the topic of smart water management. However, there are still niche areas in digitalisation which need to be spotlighted. Within the Earth Observation (EO) community, practitioners have noticed the general hesitancy of policymakers to include the application of EO services in water resources and quality management. With an abundance of sound research and reliable predictions being made, the translation of EO science into policy can and should be embraced more.  

 In this webinar, participants had the opportunity to hear from experts on sectoral views of the science-to-policy interface, successful integration stories, and more.
