Sustainable Water Resource Management
Data at the Heart of Sustainable Water Management
Since the 1990s, CLS has been measuring the height of oceans, lakes, and rivers. With 30 years of Earth observation expertise, CLS is committed to sustainable water management.
The evolution and accessibility of satellite-based solutions now make it possible to identify water stocks (volumes in dams, snow quantities, river flow, water quality, etc.) and monitor their status in near real time.
Every day, CLS produces, aggregates, distributes, and archives massive volumes of data on water and aquatic environments.
