The Global Water Monitor<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

There are other water information systems online. So what makes ours so special?  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

the whole water cycle<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

One aspect of the water cycle does not show the full picture. We use data on precipitation, air temperature and humidity, soil water, river flows, and lake volumes to understand change.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

daily updates<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

We update our information as soon as new data becomes available. Thanks to near-real time satellites, that means within days after the event.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
