Objective
The main aim of ISLA project is to develop an application devoted to the land and water management in Mediterranean Islands using Earth-Observation data. To achieve this objective, the Mallorca and Crete islands have been selected as pilot areas. These islands are characterised by different hydrogeological situations: 90% of water supply of the Spanish island is extracted from underground, while in Crete, water is mainly provided by dams and natural springs. By choosing these two islands as test sites, the project strives to reach a rather complet overview over the water management in the Mediterranean basin.
The general objective we have proposed can be divided in a series of partial objectives covering the resolution of the problems existing in the Mediterranean context (semi-arid areas):
- Analysis of the operational needs of the customer organizations and the addedvalue supplied by the EO derived information. Identification of a suitabledata supply chain and suitable processing schemes to derive the requieredinformation.
- System design to generate information from EO data.
- Land and water management, analysing the evolution of irrigation in testareas.
- Snowmelt monitoring.
- Submarine spring detection.
- General water balance.
- Development of a pilot system devoted to manage data and generate basicinformation that might be used by the customer organisatons. - Results validation.
The previous objectives have been organized in 8 Work Packages (WPs):
WP0 Project Management.
WP1 Definition study.
WP2 System design.
WP3 LAnd and water management.
WP4 Snowmelt monitoring.
WP5 Submarine spring detection.
WP6 General water balance.
WP7 Pilot system elaboration.
WP8 Results validation.
The ISLA project intends to make operational a series of studies carried out by research institutes during the last years. It will serve as a link in RS transfer between research institutes and agencies for water resources management.
