will develop online-based tools and procedures to aid resources managers in monitoring and assessing landscape water use for applications in drought early warning and water resources management.

The research may yield a framework for the effective integration of geospatial datasets with decision-making procedures so that the time lag between data collection, processing and interpretation, and decision making is reduced, implementation is enhanced, and productivity is increased.
