GEOGLOWS and the GEOSS Water Strategy
The GEOSS Water Strategy was prepared in 2014 to communicate
the capabilities and needs of the GEO Water community to GEO
members and the broader community as plans are made for the next
phase of GEO.
2
General: The GOESS Water
Strategy gives priority to :
- Water security
- Climate change
adaptation
- Water and poverty
- Extremes: floods and
droughts
- Water-Energy-Food
Security Nexus
- Water for ecosystems and
biodiversity
GEOGLOWS addresses five of
the six priority areas with its
strategies and on-going
activities, and provides a
framework for enabling GEO
Members to address many of
the Water Strategy’s 58
recommendations.
GEO Global Water Sustainability (GEOGLoWS)
OBJECTIVES
1) Strengthen capacity to understand water data needs and develop userdriven applications products from EO data and applications
2) Engage end users and boundary organizations to understand needs
by region and decision making process and prioritize activities based on
vulnerability analyses
3) Coordinate and leverage GEOGLOWS partners to more effectively
provide information and expertise to US and international stakeholder
and end user communities
4) Strengthen U.S. and international capacity to use water EO and
science effectively across spatial and temporal scales
5) Contribute to the assessments of impacts of climate change with
population and economic growth on water resources and their
availability, and to inform planning and adaptation activities

4. Earth Observations, Integrated Data Products and
Applications, and Tool Development
GLoFAS SOS server: JRC of the EU Commission is
planning to implement a GloFAS Sensor Observation
Service (SOS) server, similar to “HydroServer” (OGC
SOS) for the GloFAS forecasts. This would allow
users to link observations with forecasts either within
GloFAS or within the HydroServer visualization
interface or, in fact, with any interface capable to
work with OGC SOS.
HydroServer and Tethys Plaform are standardsbased, open source tools, which are used for data
management and dissemination, modeling,
visualization, and decision support. HydroServer and
the Tethys Platform were successfully used through
NOAA's National Flood Interoperability Experiment
(NFIE) and GEO's CIEHLYC training program in
Cartagena, Colombia during the summer of 2015.

5. Data Sharing, Dissemination of Data, Information,
products, and Knowledge
Open Water Data Initiative Proposal
• Integrate currently fragmented water information into a
connected, water data framework
• Leverage existing shared infrastructure and tools to provide
a platform for innovation, modeling, and data sharing and
solution development
• Build on the ground-breaking work of the FGDC, OGC,
IWRSS, CUASI, ACWI, and others.
