UN Mappers Training: Waterways Mapping in OpenStreetMap
Online / MS Teams
Learn how to map agricultural waterways to support food security. All mappers, new and experienced, are welcome! Become a UN Mapper!
About the Project:
Waterways play a key role in land suitability for agriculture. Combined with infrastructures, they are essential for water distribution and crop production.
UN Mappers is supporting FAO to produce an exhaustive, open-source map of waterways along the Senegal river in Mauritania. The mapped waterway network will serve as a foundation for: - Advanced spatial analysis - Identification of infrastructure improvements - Ongoing monitoring and updates by SONADER (e.g., water flow, presence of invasive plants, canal conditions)
