• Irrigation monitoring. This app has been designed to track irrigation activity across the Netherlands. By utilizing crowd-sourcing, it helps build a comprehensive national database with information on locations and times of irrigation activity, types of crops, and sources of irrigation water. The app is available here (in Dutch).
• Identifying drying reaches. Over the past decade, the Netherlands has encountered several exceptionally dry years. The combination of reduced rainfall and above-average temperatures has resulted in decreased groundwater recharge. This caused groundwater levels to drop, leading to an increasing number of streams drying up during summer. It is expected that climate change will amplify this negative effect. Therefore, we have developed an app that utilizes crowd-sourcing to populate a national database with information on locations and times of drying reaches. The app is accessible here (in Dutch).
