With wildly fluctuating climatic conditions around the globe, the food supply of many countries depends on timely prediction and proactive management of drought situations. By providing reliable information such as soil moisture, even in areas devoid of in situ measurements, GlobVision is able to assist many government and non-government organisations better predict the need for humanitarian assistance or, hopefully, guide more effective irrigation initiatives.
For a brief overview of GlobVisions capabilities in this field, see the following summaries of recent projects: Hydrological/Meteorological Sensor Validation, Snow Depth Measurement, Snow-Water Equivalency, and Soil Moisture Estimation via Remote Sensing.
