MOSES: Managing crOp water Saving with Enterprise Services
MOSES is an information platform for water procurement and management agencies (e.g. reclamation consortia, irrigation districts, etc.) to facilitate planning of irrigation water resources at the real scale. MOSES solution can be considered a form of climate service, as it will make available to agriculture water providers:
-seasonal forecasting of water requirements over their areas of interest, in order to plan water procurement and allocation before the start of irrigation season, to mitigate the risk of water shortages and to improve water procurement efficiency;
-detailed in-season monitoring of crop water requirements and use, in order to regularly update, fine tune and adjust allocation plans and management of the water resources to end users (districts and farmers).
To achieve these goals, the MOSES project combines a wide range of data and technological resources: EO data, probabilistic seasonal forecasting and numerical weather prediction, crop water requirement and irrigation modelling and online GIS Decision Support System. Spatial scales of services range from river basin to sub-district.
