4th Meeting, Global Workshop on the Use of New Technologies and Innovations for Monitoring, Assessment and Data-sharing.
Global Workshop on the Use of New Technologies and Innovations for Monitoring, Assessment and Data-sharing in Transboundary Basins. In an era of rapid technological advancements and growing water-related challenges, harnessing new technologies and innovative approaches for monitoring, assessment and data-sharing offers unprecedented opportunities in transboundary basins. In this context, "new technologies and innovations" can be understood broadly to include advanced conventional monitoring methods; analytical enablers such as artificial intelligence and machine learning; integrative tools, such as digital twins; and innovative approaches, such as citizen science, that enhance transparency and stakeholder engagement. While new technologies and innovations can improve the availability, quality and relevance of water data for evidence-based decision-making, their uptake in transboundary basins depends on enabling conditions, such as trust, political will and institutional coope...
