NASA DEVELOP Studies Middle East Water Resources
In partnership with the Water Resources Action Project (WRAP), a team from NASA DEVELOP undertook a project to utilize NASA Earth Observations to create a precipitation climatology of Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank to identify optimal rainwater harvesting locations for underserved schools in those regions. The results will aid WRAP in decision-making by identifying regions most suitable for low-cost, low-tech, rainwater harvesting alternatives.
