In recent decades, Earth Observation technology has experienced a sharp growth. Observation and monitoring networks generate more and more data and current management systems are getting overloaded with information. As a result, research and decision making are slowed down. The European Open-Earth-Monitor project (OEMC) plans to design a cyberinfrastructure that can easily work with these large volumes of data.
The MosquitoAlertBCN project has been one of the research initiatives selected by the Pla Barcelona Ciència. It is a project led by CREAF, with the participation of UPF and IRIDEON and the collaboration of the ASPB. The Pla Barcelona Ciència has the support of the Barcelona City Council and the “la Caixa” Bank Foundation.
A diverse group of stakeholders took part in a dynamic workshop to evaluate the best options to manage water in the Tordera River Basin in a more sustainable and adaptive way. The 17 participants included researchers, managers, farmers and other citizens who live and work in the Basin. The meeting took place in Santa Maria de Palautordera on 17 June 2015. Key options identified included adaptive forest management, the implementation of environmental flows and better citizen participation spaces.
We present the video that summarizes the first BeWater participatory process in the Tordera river basin, that took place during May 2014 in la Rectoria Vella of Sant Celoni municipality.
