TIGER NET

TIGER-NET is a major component of the TIGER initiative of the European Space Agency (ESA), whose main goal is the Support of the African Earth Observation Capacity for Water Resource Monitoring in close collaboration with African water authorities and experts.

TIGER-NET will develop and demonstrate a user-driven, open-source Water Observation and Information System (WOIS), which enables the production and application of a range of satellite earth observation based information products needed for Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in Africa.

The project is built upon on a close collaboration with the host institutions for the specification, testing and demonstration of the WOIS. The first key host institutions already actively involved in TIGER-NET are:
