Remote sensing for arid zone hydrogeology
Groundwater constitutes an important and reliable water resource in arid- and semi-arid regions. Groundwater resources in these dry climates are particularly vulnerable to abstraction and changing precipitation patterns. Observing and modelling hydrogeological processes in arid and semi-arid regions remains a challenge in hydrogeology. For example, precipitation dynamics feature a high spatial and temporal variability. This leads to complex infiltration, evaporation and recharge dynamics and spatial patterns. Emerging remote sensing technologies provide new means to observe hydrological fluxes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This project aims at developing new hydrogeological methods based on remote sensing to quantify how large-scale changes to water consumption and atmospheric forcing affect hydrogeological systems. The focus area is the Orontes (Asi) catchment which extends across parts of Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. The project is led by Center for Hydrogeology and Geothermics (CHYN), Université de Neuchâtel in collaboration with Geo Expertise.
Program supporting the development of small-scale irrigation in Niger.
The program aims at building capacity to support small-scale private irrigation and improve production technics. It also aims at defining potential irrigation areas using satellite images and field data. Remote sensing is essential to locate irrigation development potential, to define small-scale irrigation development strategies and to strengthen advocacy capacities of farmer organizations.
Water Security in the Middle East : The Orontes River Basin.
Dans le cadre de programme de recherche « water Security in the Middle East : The Orontes River Basin » mené par l’Institut de hautes études internationales et du développement (IHEID) à Genève, avec le soutien du Programme Mondial adopté par la Direction suisse du développement et de la coopération dans le cadre d’un projet global sur la sécurité de l’eau au Moyen-Orient. Le programme vise à analyser les défis et les perspectives de gestion de l’eau et d’établir un réseau scientifique et technique multidisciplinaire sur la gestion de l’eau dans le bassin de l’Oronte y compris les organisations libanaises, syriennes et turques. Il est mené en collaboration avec l’Institut de recherche agricole libanaise (LARI), le Centre d’hydrogéologie de l’Université de Neuchâtel, le Laboratoire de systèmes d’information géographique de l’Institut fédéral de technologie de Lausanne (EPFL), la Faculté des géosciences et de l’environnement de l’Université de Lausanne, la Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée à Lyon et Geo Expertise.
