WaPOR, remote sensing for water productivity

Webinar Series on Using the WaPOR Portal

30/07/2024

As FAO’s WaPOR Portal started covering Pakistan with continuously updating evapotranspiration (ET) and water productivity data at 100m resolution and the Sanghar and Khanewal districts with 20m resolution data, the project is organizing an online webinar series on WaPOR data. 

This series is designed to equip stakeholders with the skills necessary to effectively use the WaPOR data in the portal and outside for monitoring agricultural water consumption and water productivity. Through interactive sessions and case studies, participants will gain valuable insights into data access, analysis, and the use of WaPOR data.
