Terefe Hanchiso Sodango in the field
Water scarcity and quality decline is a rapidly increasing challenges and becoming a top concern globally. To wisely manage water and achieve sustainable development, rapid and precise monitoring of water resources is crucial. Earth observation (EO) technologies play a key role in monitoring surface and underground water resources by providing rapid, continuous, high-quality, and low-cost EO data, products, and services. Currently, there are promising efforts in the use of EO technologies for water resource management but there are still huge gaps in the Africa region. The reason for the low utilization of EO technologies can be due to a lack of resources and funding including skilled and motivated human resources in the field and the lack of political commitment to foster EO products, data, and services. Therefore, the use of space technologies and their products to solve water-related problems needs collaborative efforts of all concerned stakeholders from global to local levels.

Space Application Director Agencia Bolivariana para Actividades Espaciales / Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities

My name is Verónica De Souza. I have a degree in Physics with a minor in Geophysics and a Master's degree in Ocean, Atmosphere, and Continental Surface Science. I worked for 13 years at the Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities (ABAE), the last three years in the Space Applications Directorate, focusing primarily on the processing and use of satellite data, especially from Venezuela's VRSS-1/2 satellites. Recently, ABAE has been participating in an inter-institutional committee on the management and sustainability of the country's watersheds.
